# Viewport Navigation

To *rotate* the camera use right mouse button, to *pan* use middle mouse button and to s*elect* an object, use left mouse button. To *fly* the camera, hold right mouse button and use *WASD keys*. This features works best if you use *Pilot camera mode* (read below).

There are 2 different ways the *viewport camera* responds to the right mouse button: **Orbit** *and* **Pilot***.*

If you right click anywhere in the Viewport you can also create a custom camera position.

You can then recall it in the Viewport properties menu.

## Camera movement

There are 2 types of moving the camera around the Viewport.

### **Camera orbit**

In this mode the camera rotates either:

* Around a selected object if there is one
* Around a point in front of the camera if no object is selected.

### Camera Pilot

In this mode the camera always rotates around itself. This mode is best used in combination with WASD keys which allow you to fly around the viewport.
