Rotate, Pan, Zoom, Fit, Center
Adjust your view of the model in the modeling window.
Rotate the View
Rotate the view to inspect different areas of the model.
Set the Center of Rotation
Center the view around a selected point.
- If you click on the model, the center of rotation defaults to your cursor position.
- If you click in empty space and the entire model is within the modeling window, the center of rotation defaults to the center of the model.
- If you click in empty space and a part of your model is outside the view of the modeling window, the center of rotation defaults to your cursor position. However, if you move your cursor far enough away from the model, the center of rotation snaps to either the nearest point on the model or the center of the model.
- To manually set the center of rotation, hold Ctrl and middle mouse click on the model.
- To reset the center of rotation, hold Ctrl and middle mouse click in empty space.
Pan the View
Move the view horizontally and vertically in the modeling window.
- Drag the model while right-clicking.
- Drag the model while right and left clicking simultaneously.
Zoom the View
Zoom in to view specific areas of the model, and zoom out to see a more overall view of the model.
- Scroll the mouse wheel.
The center of zoom is determined by your cursor position.
- Hold down Alt and the
right mouse button then drag your cursor up and down.
This performs a smooth zoom about the screen center.
- Draw a circle around the area of the model you want to zoom in on. You
can do this in the following ways:
- Hold Alt and the middle mouse button then draw.
- Press Z then hold left-click and draw.
