I want to present a model on the map, and let it spin automatically. So I want to set the camera rotate over this model slowly.

I kinda achieved by using a method I don’t really feel elegant:

1. I use **viewer.camera.lookAt(myModelPosition, HeadingPitchRange)**

2. Then i call it every 0.1 sec with a smaller heading value.

Could anyone help with a more elegant way?

Thanks.

Ciao

Maybe you can adapt the solution presented by HyperSonic here: [How to circle around a model/entity / viewer.flyTo() path](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/cesium-dev/flyto/cesium-dev/Hwzy6Iz_X6M/A_3X7C4TeLYJ)  
-\> Define a given time to move from heading A to heading B instead of many individual headings.

Thanks Martin,

So it’s similar logic of what I’m doing now. So i guess there is no more elegant way. (like set a path for camera to circle)

Best,
