Navigating a model in 3D
|
||||
------------------------

|
||||
To navigate, can use the **Navigate Gizmo** on the top right corner of the
|
||||
**Viewport** panel. Click and drag on the coloured axes to **Orbit**, click and
|
||||
drag on the magnifying glass to **Zoom**, and click and drag on the hand icon to
|
||||
**Pan**. You can also click on the grid icon to switch between perspective and
|
||||
orthographic view.
|
||||
|
||||
To switch to a top view, front view, or side view, click the relevant axis on
|
||||
the **Navigate Gizmo**.

|
||||
|
||||
You can also use your mouse to navigate. Hover your mouse over the **Viewport**
|
||||
panel and click and drag the Middle Mouse Button (MMB) to **Orbit**. Scroll the
|
||||
mousewheel to **Zoom**, and use Shift-MMB to **Pan**.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a numpad, you can use the numpad keys to quickly switch to top,
|
||||
front, or side view. Use ``7`` for top view, ``1`` for front view, and ``3`` for
|
||||
side view.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
|
||||
Blender's hotkeys are context sensitive. This means that a hotkey has a
|
||||
different meaning depending on the panel your mouse cursor is hovering over.
|
||||
If you press ``7`` to go to top view, make sure your mouse cursor is over the
|
||||
**Viewport** panel. Be very careful where your mouse is, or you might press a
|
||||
hotkey and it will have unintended consequences!
|
||||
|
||||
If you click on an object, such as a wall in the **Viewport** panel, you can
|
||||
zoom to the selected object by clicking on ``View > Frame Selected``. The hotkey
|
||||
is the ``.`` button on the numpad. After zooming into an element, when you
|
||||
**Orbit** the 3D view will rotate around the center of that element.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also zoom to all objects in the project by clicking on ``View > Frame
|
||||
All``.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Another good way to navigate is by flying or walking around similar to a video
|
||||
game. Choose ``View > Navigation > Walk Navigation``, or use the ``Shift-```
|
||||
hotkey (the backtick key is usually to the left of the number 1 on the
|
||||
keyboard). With **Walk Navigation** enabled, use the ``WASD`` keys and the mouse
|
||||
to move around like a video game. You can use the ``Shift`` key to switch
|
||||
between moving fast and slow. If you scroll with the mousewheel, it will adjust
|
||||
the speed that you move at.
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes, you want to look through objects. You can toggle **X-Ray Mode** by
|
||||
pressing the button on the top right of the **Viewport** panel. The hotkey is
|
||||
``Alt-Z``.

|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
|
||||
Blender has lots of hotkeys to do things quickly, but these can take time to
|
||||
learn but it is worth it as you will be much faster. These hotkeys can be
|
||||
customised in Blender's preferences.
