Introduction

We will cover the simple navigation of CraftWare Pro using the mouse and keyboard.

Zoom

Using the mouse wheel, the camera will move in the direction of the mouse pointer. When this happens, the camera endpoint or pivot point will be placed to the surface of the 3D model. After this whenever you rotate the camera, then it will revolve around this pivot point. Zooming is also possible using the keyboards numeric pad + and - keys.

Rotate

Holding down the LEFT mouse button and moving the mouse is rotation. The pivot point of the rotation can be changed by pointing the mouse to a surface and using a wheel even a tiny bit, it will relocate the (invisible) pivot point.

Pan

Holding down the RIGHT mouse button and moving the mouse is panning. Panning will cause the pivot point to move as well. Panning is also possible using the arrow keys on your keyboard.

Look around

Holding down CTRL and the LEFT mouse button while moving the mouse will look around in the scene, using the camera as the pivot point.
