    3D navigation

    It is recommended to use a 3-buttons mouse with a scroll wheel for a full experience in MachineMaker and 3D navigation.

    Interactive rotate

    Press and hold the right mouse button and drag the cursor around for the view rotation in the main visualization screen. Drag the cursor up and down to rotate around the horizontal screen axis. Drag it left and right to rotate around the vertical screen axis.

    Use images/download/attachments/128546599/image2021-5-7_14-29-59.png button to switch between free and Z-Fixed rotation modes.

    Use images/download/thumbnails/128546599/image2023-10-27_15-55-42.png the measure tool to measure the distance.

    In robot cells, use 3D navigation to turn off floor visibility.

    Clicking on the Middle Mouse Button (wheel) in the graphics window rotates the current view to the nearest standard plane.

    Interactive pan

    Press and hold the Middle Mouse Button (wheel) and drag the cursor in the main visualization screen to move the view vector.

    Interactive zoom in and out

    Use Mouse Wheel Scroll to zoom. The zoom area is where your mouse cursor is located.

    Visualization mode

    It is possible to change visualization mode in the Mechanism edit mode.
