Zoom Extents All, Zoom Extents All Selected

The Zoom Extents All flyout is available in all viewports. It lets you zoom extents for all objects or for selected objects.

• Activate any viewport. > Viewport Navigation controls > Zoom Extents All flyout
• Keyboard > Shift+Ctrl+Z (3ds Max mode)
• Keyboard > A (Maya mode)
Note: How you navigate viewports depends on which interaction mode, 3ds Max or Maya, is active.

The flyout has two options:

• Zoom Extents All centers all visible objects in all viewports. This control is useful when you want to see every object in a scene in every available viewport.
• Zoom Extents All Selected centers a selected object, or set of objects, in all viewports. This control is useful when you want to navigate to small objects lost in a complex scene.
