Viewport Navigation

Viewport navigation in Blender allows users to explore and interact with their 3D scenes efficiently.

Basic Controls

  • Orbit – Hold MMB (Middle Mouse Button) and drag.
  • Pan – Hold Shift + MMB and drag.
  • Zoom – Scroll the mouse wheel up/down or use + and - keys.
  • Zoom to Selection – Select an object, then go to View > Zoom to Selection.
  • Rotate View – Hold MMB and move the mouse.

Tips for Efficient Navigation

  • Use NumPad Keys for quick views (1 = Front, 3 = Side, 7 = Top).
  • NumPad 0 switches to Camera View.
  • Shift + ~ enables Fly/Walk Navigation for first-person movement.
