Fit to Screen#

To fit your selection to the screen, click an object and press the F key.

Zoom in/out#

The zoom control moves the camera forward and backward in the space. To zoom, scroll on your mouse.

Teleport#

The teleport control instantly moves the Viewport camera to a specific point, looking in a specific direction. To teleport, activate the tool and Left-click.

When the teleport icon is blue the teleport to click location is valid, when the icon is grey the location is invalid.
