3D Navigation in MachineBuilder

This guide shows you how to navigate in 3D space within MachineBuilder. We recommend using a mouse while using MachineBuilder and not a trackpad.

Zooming In/Out

Use your mouse’s scroll wheel to zoom in and out of your design. By default, scrolling up will zoom in and scrolling down will zoom out. You can invert this in mouse settings in the Settings menu.

Panning

Click and hold the right mouse button, then drag your mouse across the design space to pan. 

Rotating

There are three ways to rotate your view in MachineBuilder.

1. Click and hold the scroll wheel, then drag your mouse across the design space to rotate 3your view around the initially clicked point.
