View ‣ Navigation ‣ Orbit

Shortcut

MMB, Numpad2, Numpad4, Numpad6, Numpad8, Ctrl-Alt-Wheel, Shift-Alt-Wheel

Rotate the view around the point of interest. Click and drag MMB on the viewport's area. If you start in the middle of the area and move up and down or left and right, the view is rotated around the middle of the area.

To change the viewing angle in discrete steps, use Numpad8 and Numpad2 or use Numpad4 and Numpad6 to rotate the scene around the global Z axis from your current point of view. Finally Numpad9 switches to the opposite side of the view.

Or if the Emulate 3 Button Mouse option is select in the Preferences you can press and hold Alt while dragging LMB in the viewport's area.

Note

Hotkeys

Remember that most hotkeys affect the active area (the one that has focus), so check that the mouse cursor is in the area you want to work in before you use the hotkeys.

Moves the view up, down, left and right. To pan the view, hold down Shift and drag MMB in the 3D Viewport. For discrete steps, use the hotkeys Ctrl-Numpad8, Ctrl-Numpad2, Ctrl-Numpad4 and Ctrl-Numpad6 as with orbiting (note: you can replace Ctrl with Shift).

If your input device has no middle button, you can hold Shift-Alt while dragging with LMB.

Shortcut

Ctrl-MMB, Wheel, NumpadPlus, NumpadMinus

Moves the camera forwards and backwards. You can zoom in and out by holding down Ctrl and dragging MMB. To zoom in with discrete steps, use the hotkeys NumpadPlus and NumpadMinus. If you have a wheel mouse, you can zoom by rotating the Wheel.

Hint

If You Get Lost

If you get lost in 3D space, which is not uncommon, two hotkeys will help you: Home changes the view so that you can see all objects View ‣ Frame All, while NumpadPeriod zooms the view to the currently selected objects when in perspective mode View ‣ Frame Selected.

View ‣ Navigation ‣ Zoom Region...

Shortcut

Shift-B

The Zoom Region tool allows you to specify a rectangular region and zoom in so that the region fills the 3D Viewport.

You can access this through via the shortcut Shift-B, then LMB click and drag a rectangle to zoom into.

Alternatively you can zoom out using the MMB.

Dolly Zoom

Reference

Mode

All modes

Shortcut

Shift-Ctrl-MMB

In most cases its sufficient to zoom the view to get a closer look at something, however, you may notice that at a certain point you cannot zoom any closer.

This is because Blender stores a view-point that is used for orbiting and zooming. It works well in many cases, but sometimes you want to move the view-point to a different place. This is what Dolly supports, allowing you to transport the view from one place to another.

You can dolly back and forth by holding down Shift-Ctrl and dragging with MMB.
