How Do You Rotate an Object in Vectary?

Published in Vectary Navigation 2 mins read

In Vectary, rotating your view around an object is primarily done through scene navigation controls.

Understanding Vectary's Scene Rotation

To visually rotate around an object or the entire scene in Vectary, you utilize a specific mouse action as part of the standard navigation controls. This allows you to look at your 3D model or scene from different angles.

Based on the standard navigation setup, the method for rotating your view is:

  • Rotate: left-click and drag your mouse cursor along the scene canvas.

Performing this action moves your camera around the focal point of the scene or around a selected object, giving the effect of rotating the object itself within the 3D space.

Other Essential Navigation Actions

Alongside rotation, the reference also describes other fundamental navigation controls that help you move around your 3D environment:

  • Pan: right-click and drag your mouse cursor. (Moves the view side-to-side or up-and-down without changing orientation).
  • Zoom: scroll your mouse wheel. (Moves the view closer or further away from the focal point).
  • Quick Zoom: mouse wheel and drag the mouse. (A potentially faster or alternative way to zoom).

Mastering these navigation techniques, especially the left-click and drag for rotation, is key to effectively positioning your view to inspect and work on your 3D objects in Vectary.
