### Navigation

Pan - To pan around press and hold the **middle mouse button** or you can use the pan tool in the navigation bar at the bottom if you are on a mac and have a trackpad you can use two fingers to pan around.

Zoom - To zoom you can use the **scroll wheel** to zoom in or out, you can also use the zoom in and out buttons in the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen and if you are on a mac with a trackpad you can zoom just how you usually would on a trackpad.

Orbit - To orbit you press **shift** while pressing the **middle mouse button**, you can also use orbit via the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen, and on a mac, with a trackpad, you can hold shift while using the same action you would to pan in fusion (two fingers) to orbit. There are also two types of orbits: **constrained** where you only rotate around one axis and **free** where you rotate around all 3 axes.
