It??™s important to note that you cannot use these controls all the
time, in every view.Their availability varies depending on which
view you??™re working in. In Perspective view, the default viewport,
these tools are all available. The five buttons are as follows:
?—? Center Current Item. This first button stays on when clicked. Click it again to
turn it off. It keeps the currently selected item??”be it a camera, light, or object??”
centered at all times.
?—? Move. The Move button enables you to move your view around in the
Perspective, Top, Side, and Back/Front viewports.
?—? Rotate. Click, hold, and drag to rotate your viewport in the Perspective view only.
?—? Zoom. The Zoom viewport tool is useful for all views except Light view and
Camera view.
?—? Expand. The Expand view control is great to quickly maximize any viewport. For
example, let??™s say you??™re using LightWave Layout with a Quad viewport style like
Modeler. Click this button in any viewport to maximize it to full screen. Click it
again to return to your Quad view.
Use these viewport controls to properly take a look at your scene. They can help you stay
aware of what??™s going on, and controls like the Center Current Item button can help you
quickly find an item you??™ve misplaced in the scene: Click the Center Current Item button,
then select the missing item from the Selected Item list (see Figure 2.
