Moving around the model

- [Instructor] So chapter 02_02 is all about moving around the model. So it's not just as simple as orbiting, zooming in and out, and panning. But there are some other techniques that we can use to get inside the model, and sort of ease our way around internal spaces, and also we can use section cuts. So I'll show you all those in this video. So the simple stuff first, orbit, that's this icon, or it's pressing the wheel down of your mouse and holding it down. Or it's the letter O on the keyboard. All of those bring up the orbit command. The hand, or the hand tool, so you click on the hand icon, that allows you to pan around. So again, press your finger down on your left mouse button, and that's panning. It's H, the letter on the keyboard. So H for hand. And then you can use these, if I hit the Spacebar on my keyboard, that takes me back to the select option, this one here. If I press the wheel down on the mouse, I get the orbit. If I hold Shift down as well, I've got the pan. Okay…
