How to Control the Camera

To view your model effectively you need to control the camera and change its rotation and position. Qubicle 3.0 supports two different ways to control the camera. You can use both ways without changing any preferences.

Classic Camera Controls

Hold down the Alt key and one of the three mouse buttons to rotate, pan and zoom.

• Use [Alt] + Left Mouse Button to rotate
• Use [Alt] + Middle Mouse Button to pan
• Use [Alt] + Right Mouse Button to zoom

Alternative Camera Controls

The alternative camera controls don’t require pressing the Alt key.

• Use Right Mouse Button to rotate
• Use Middle Mouse Button to pan
• Use Mouse Wheel to zoom

How to use the Cam Cube

In the top right corner of the Work Area you can find the Camera Cube which rotates with the camera and indicates which side of the model you are looking at.

• Click on either side of the Camera Cube to rotate the camera to the corresponding perpendicular view.
• Click on the little home button to reset the camera position and rotation.
