View control |
You can adjust the view in a 3D view window using the view control buttons:
Button | Menu item | Shortcut | Action |
---|---|---|---|
View | Rotate up | CTRL+ALT+↑ | Increase view elevation | |
+ SHIFT | View | Rotate down | CTRL+ALT+↓ | Decrease view elevation |
View | Rotate right | CTRL+ALT+→ | Increase view azimuth | |
+ SHIFT | View | Rotate left | CTRL+ALT+← | Decrease view azimuth |
View | Zoom in | CTRL+I | Zoom in | |
+ SHIFT | View | Zoom out | SHIFT+CTRL+I | Zoom out |
View | Shaded graphics mode | CTRL+G | Switch between wire frame and shaded graphics mode | |
View | Edit view parameters | CTRL+W | Edit view parameters |
You can also use the mouse wheel to change view. Turn the wheel to scroll the 3D view up and down. Turn it with the CTRL key held down to zoom in or out on the location at which the mouse is currently pointing.
For more precise control you can set the view parameters explicitly using the view parameters form.
Finally, 3D views can also be controlled using the view menu and various shortcut keys – see mouse and keyboard actions and navigating in 3D views.
