Master navigation in the 3D viewport. Learn mouse controls, keyboard shortcuts, view options, and camera presets for optimal 3D visualization.
Rotate the camera around the scene center to view objects from different angles.
Tip: The camera orbits around the scene center point. If you want to orbit around a specific object, first frame that object using the "Frame All" command.
Move the camera horizontally and vertically without changing the viewing angle.
Note: Panning moves the camera parallel to the current view plane, maintaining the same viewing angle while changing the center point.
Zoom in and out to get closer or farther from the scene.
Quickly reset the camera to default positions and orientations.
Note: Camera reset returns to the default isometric view with the camera positioned to show the entire scene from a good viewing angle.
Automatically position the camera to show specific objects or the entire scene.
Switch between different view modes and projection types.
Display only the edges and vertices of 3D objects for technical analysis and debugging.
Show face normal vectors to understand surface orientation and identify potential issues.
Show bounding boxes around objects to understand their spatial extent and alignment.
Quick access to standard engineering views for consistent visualization.
Save and recall custom camera positions for specific viewing needs.
Configure multiple viewports for simultaneous viewing from different angles.
Now that you can navigate effectively, learn how to create and work with JSCAD code:
