How do you move the 3d window origin?

Post by lagnat » Fri Dec 25, 2020 7:13 am

I feel I must be missing something simple but I cannot figure out how to pan the 3d window. Is there a way?

I don't have a 3D image to test but MenuBar/View/Zoom/Pan Zoom(ZP) pans the image.

Oops, not related to origin shifting.

Not much. Those don't seem to affect the 3D window.

@Andrew Can I turn this into a feature request? How about a modifier key + mouse drag for 3D pan/zoom?

You could try to file a feature request...

For this you need a different acount.
