The View Object wheels are used for 3D navigation. Use these wheels to view individual or groups of objects in a model.

With the View Object Wheels (big and mini), you can view individual objects or features in a model. The big View Object Wheel is optimized for new 3D users while the mini View Object Wheel is optimized for experienced 3D users.

  • Center. Specifies a point on a model to adjust the center of the current view or change the target point used for some of the navigation tools.
  • Zoom. Adjusts the magnification of the current view.
