Change Viewpoints using the Pan, Rotate, and Zoom Tool
The Pan, Rotate, and Zoom tool, located at the bottom of your 3DVIA Shape window, provides quick access to frequently-used viewing tools. Using the left mouse button only, you can pan, rotate and zoom in or out of your model.
To change your viewpoint, do one of the following:
- To pan, press and hold down the left mouse button over the Pan area
then drag the mouse vertically or horizontally. - To rotate, press and hold down the left mouse button over the Rotate
area
then drag the mouse around in the desired direction. - To zoom in (closer to the model), press and hold down the left mouse
button over the Zoom area
then drag the mouse up. - To zoom out (further away from the model), press and hold down the
left mouse button over the Zoom area
then drag the mouse down.

anywhere in 3D space. - To rotate, press and hold down the middle mouse button, then the
left mouse button
, and drag (still holding both buttons down). - To zoom, press and hold down the middle mouse button,

The 3-button mouse is recommended for usability reasons. The IntelliMouse (two buttons plus a wheel) is an alternative to the 3-button mouse:
- Press and hold down the wheel the same way as the middle mouse button.
- To zoom in or out, roll the wheel forward or backward.
