โ€ŒNavigating with Control and ALT

The idea behind using Control and ALT (command on the Mac) is that you can change the motion at any time, as you are doing it, by pressing or releasing a key, while


keeping the mouse moving. That makes it a lot faster than switching back and forth between various tools and then moving the camera.

When neither control nor ALT are pressed, dragging will pan the display (truck the camera sideways or up and down). Control-dragging will cause the camera to look around in different directions, without translating. Control-ALT-dragging will dolly the camera forwards or backwards. ALT-dragging will cause the camera to orbit.
