Scene Rotation (X + Left Mouse Button + Drag)

Rotates the entire 3D scene around the scene origin. Hold the X key, press and hold the Left Mouse Button, then drag to orbit the camera smoothly around the central pivot.

This interaction does not move objects — it changes only the camera orientation relative to the scene origin, making it ideal for inspecting proportions, checking silhouettes, and reviewing details from multiple angles.

Tips: combine slow, small drags for precision or larger sweeps for rapid reorientation. Use in conjunction with frame/zoom commands to focus on particular objects while rotating.

Scene Panning (Right Mouse Button + Drag)

Moves the camera parallel to the view plane. Press and hold the Right Mouse Button and drag to slide your view left/right or up/down without altering the camera's rotation or zoom level.

Panning is useful for repositioning the viewport to focus on off-center details, lining up elements, or adjusting your framing while modeling. It keeps the current viewing direction and distance intact.

Tips: use panning together with zoom to navigate large scenes efficiently — pan to place the area of interest near the center of the view, then zoom in for detail work.

Scene Zoom (Middle Mouse Button + Drag or Mouse Wheel)

Adjusts the camera distance to the scene, bringing the view closer or farther from the origin. Use the Middle Mouse Button + drag for continuous zoom or the Mouse Wheel for stepped zoom increments.

Zooming is essential for inspecting fine details, laying out scenes at different scales, and quickly switching between overview and focused work. It modifies the camera's translation along the view axis without changing orientation.

Tips: pair zoom with frame-to-selection to center and zoom precisely on selected objects, and use smooth middle-button drags for controlled, gradual zooming when adjusting fine details.

Scene Camera Focus (F Key)

Centers the camera view on the currently selected object, face, edge, or vertex. Press the F key to immediately move the camera so that the selected elements become the new pivot point for navigation.

Once focused, all scene interactions—such as rotation, panning, and zooming—revolve smoothly around this new center point. This makes it much easier to inspect specific details, work on small components, or adjust complex areas of your model without losing orientation.

This command is especially valuable when your selection is off-screen or too small to see clearly. It allows you to instantly snap the camera to a clear, centered view, restoring a stable and efficient workflow even in dense or large-scale scenes.

Perspective View

Activates a perspective projection, where objects appear smaller as they move farther from the camera. This is the most natural and intuitive view mode, closely matching real-world vision.

Useful for evaluating proportions, visual depth, spatial relationships, and the overall look of your scene.

Front View

Switches to an orthographic front-facing camera. This view removes perspective distortion, making it ideal for aligning shapes, modeling symmetrical features, or verifying proportions on the front axis.

Commonly used for modeling characters, architectural structures, or any geometry requiring precise frontal alignment.

Side View

Activates an orthographic side camera, showing the scene from either the left or right side. This view is excellent for adjusting depth, refining silhouettes, and working on details that require a clear lateral perspective.

Eliminates visual distortion, ensuring precise alignment along the X or Z axis.

Top View

Switches to an orthographic top-down camera. This view is invaluable for arranging scenes, placing objects on a floor plane, and aligning geometry on the horizontal axes without the influence of perspective.

Helpful for architectural layouts, environment design, and precise map/terrain adjustments.

Focus on Geometry

Moves the camera directly to the center of the currently selected geometry and sets this point as the new orbit pivot. After focusing, all rotations and zooms revolve around the selected object, making navigation significantly easier.

Ideal for quickly locating off-screen components, zooming into small details, and maintaining an efficient modeling workflow.

View Grid

Toggles the visibility of the 3D grid. The grid helps with positioning, scale awareness, and spatial orientation during modeling.

Recommended to keep enabled during precision modeling or layout work.

Snap to Grid

Enables snapping behavior so selected objects or components automatically align to the nearest grid point when moved. This ensures clean, precise placement and consistent spacing.

Ideal for architectural modeling, modular design, or technical shapes requiring strict alignment.

Solid View

Renders geometry using filled surfaces, allowing you to see materials, shading, and the general volume of the model. Suitable for visual evaluation, sculpting-like workflows, or reviewing shapes in context.

Wireframe View

Displays the model as a wireframe composed of edges only, revealing all underlying geometry. This mode is essential when analyzing topology, selecting hidden elements, or working on dense or overlapping areas.

Wireframe mode is also valuable for performance when working with high-poly scenes.

Click Selection

Basic selection is performed by clicking directly on a geometry component. You can click to select individual elements or click and drag to create a marquee selection area, capturing all components inside the rectangular region.

Holding the Shift key allows you to add or remove components from the current selection, enabling flexible multiselection for complex editing tasks.

The combination Ctrl + Shift limits interaction to adding components only, preventing accidental deselection. This is useful when expanding your selection across the scene.

These click and drag selection methods (Shift, Ctrl, mouse interactions) work consistently across all editable elements, including geometry, faces, edges, vertices, UV faces, UV edges, and UV points.

Double-Click Selection

Double-clicking a geometry component selects all connected components of the same type. This is a fast way to highlight an entire continuous region without manually clicking each part.

For faces, double-click selection can be used to capture face loops. Simply select a face, then double-click an adjacent one to select the entire loop following the surface topology.

If you click one face and then double-click a face that lies along the loop path, you will select a face chain (segment), allowing precise control over partial loop selections.

Double-clicking an edge selects an entire edge loop. Similarly, clicking an edge and double-clicking another along the loop selects an edge chain (segment), giving you fine control when working with quads.

This double-click selection behavior works across all components—faces, edges, vertices, UV faces, UV edges, and UV points—making it a universally applicable tool for modeling and UV editing.

UV Checker

Toggles the display of a UV checker texture on the model. The checker pattern helps evaluating stretching, distortion, and texel density by providing a clear visual grid. When enabled, the surface becomes easier to analyze for UV layout consistency.

Switches between the checker pattern and the model’s original color texture, allowing fast comparison during the UV editing process.

UV Correction Slider

Adjusts the automatic UV unfolding by compensating for variations in surface orientation. This slider influences how strongly the geometry’s normals are taken into account when flattening the mesh, helping correct distortion on curved or angled surfaces.

Provides finer control over bounding-box-based unwrapping, especially for irregular shapes.

Automatic UV Unfolding

Generates UV coordinates based on the object’s bounding box orientation. The tool evaluates the geometry from six directions—left, right, top, bottom, front, and back—then applies an unfolding method that fits each face to the most appropriate plane.

Useful for quickly producing clean UVs for hard-surface models such as boxes, architectural parts, or mechanical components.

Cylindrical Rotation X/Y/Z

Allows precise numeric rotation of the cylindrical projection axis around the X, Y, or Z coordinate. These fields modify how the cylindrical unwrap aligns with the mesh, ensuring more predictable results on objects with directional curvature.

Ideal for tuning the projection for pipes, tubes, columns, and rounded shapes.

Cylindrical Projection

Applies a cylindrical UV projection to the selected faces. The method wraps the UVs around the object as if placing a label around a can, producing evenly distributed UV coordinates along curved surfaces.

Best suited for tubes, arms, ropes, columns, and any elongated form with radial symmetry.

Normal Projection

Automatically unfolds UVs by analyzing the geometry’s surface normals. This method groups faces according to their orientation and unfolds them to minimize visible seams when possible.

Provides a flexible, semi-automatic unwrap for organic shapes or objects with varied curvature.

Split UV Edges

Separates the selected UV edges, creating independent UV islands. This is useful for manually controlling seams, allowing specific regions to unfold cleanly or to reduce texture distortion.

Often used when preparing a mesh for painting or baking, where clean borders are required.
