Navigation controls
This guide outlines the fundamental Viewport navigation controls using a mouse and keyboard.
Tip: Use a mouse and a keyboard
While trackpads offer basic functionality, a mouse with a scroll wheel is strongly recommended for precise Viewport control.
The Viewport is your main workspace in the Studio. It displays all active entities in your scene and acts as a window into your virtual world, where you can navigate, preview, and edit the elements of your scene in real time.
