### orbit
Orbit allows you to rotate around the focused object in all three-dimensions.
Press the **1** key on keyboard to switch to **Orbit Tool** or use the **Alt-LeftMouseButton** to orbit around focused object.
### pan
Pan allows you to move the camera from side to side and up and down. This is good for setting up image composition.
Press the **2** key on keyboard to switch to **Pan Tool** or use the **Alt-MiddleMouseButton** to slide the camera around. Alternately, you should be able to just hold **MiddleMouseButton** to Pan.
### dolly
Dolly allows you zoom the camera in or out, closer or further from the focused object.
Press the **3** key on keyboard to switch to **Zoom Tool** or use the **Alt-RightMouseButton** to zooom closer or further from focused object. Alternatively, you can **Scroll** the **MiddleMouseButton** to Dolly.
### focus
The navigation camera uses an object or group of objects as the center to Orbit around or Dolly towards.
To change the focal point of where the camera is looking, select an object or group of objects and press the **F** key. The camera will make that selection the new focus of attention.
