The Panel Camera controls can only be found on the System Panel as it is the only 3D environment and therefore needs extended navigation options instead of just the 'Pan' Gen Panel Camera Pan.png camera control which the Dashboard Panel is bound to as it is a 2D environment.

The camera (viewpoint) can be panned or rotated around different axes using the three icons shown.

These work in conjunction with the Ctrl, Shift and Alt keys and with the three coloured arrow heads that show the camera orientation.

Gen Panel Camera Pan.png The first allows the camera to pan left / right / up / down.

Gen Panel Camera Rotate.png The second allows the camera to rotate assuming the table top is the ground.

Gen Panel Camera Orbit.png The third allows the camera to rotate without considering the table top.

To move and control the camera:

  • Hold down the Ctrl key and click-drag the mouse to move the camera eye.
  • Hold down both the Ctrl and Shift keys and click-drag the mouse to move the camera target.
  • Hold down Alt and click anywhere on the panel to move the camera over that point or object.
