Traditional SynthEyes 3-D Navigation
The middle mouse button navigates in 3-D. Middle-drag pans the camera, ALT- middle-drag orbits, Control-ALT dollies it in or out. (Use command for ALT on the Mac.) Control-middle makes the camera look around in different directions (tripod-style pan and tilt), but see the Tip below. Doing any of the above with the shift key down slows the motion for increased accuracy. The camera will orbit around selected vertices or an object, if available. The text area of the perspective window shows the navigation mode continuously.
Tip : Because the control-middle-drag scrub used in most view types conflicts with Look mode, with traditional navigation use control-right-drag to scrub .
The middle-mouse scroll wheel moves forward and back through time if the view is locked to the camera (may result in GeoH tracking), zooms in and out in 2D if the view is already zoomed or panned in 2D, and dollies in and out in 3D when the camera is not locked.
The N key will switch to Navigate mode from any other mode.
In traditional mode, if you hold down the Z key or apostrophe/double-quote when you click the left mouse button in any mode, the perspective window will switch temporarily to the Navigate mode, allowing you to use the left button to navigate. The original mode will be restored when your release the mouse button.
