    Navigating the ShaderFX Work Area

    The ShaderFX work area is the left side of the ShaderFX window, where nodes are displayed.

    If your mouse has a middle mouse button or a wheel, you can use these controls to navigate the work area:

    • Dragging with the middle mouse button pans the view.
    • Ctrl+Alt+drag with the middle mouse button zooms the view.
    • Using the wheel zooms the view.
