Using a Touchpad? Keyboard Controls for Our 3D Anatomy
A quick tip for anyone studying on a laptop with only a touchpad. A mouse is the easiest way to move around our 3D content, but if you don't have one to hand, your keyboard can do the job nicely. ⌨️
Orbit with the arrow keys
Use the left and right or up and down arrows on your keyboard to orbit (spin) the content. Want it to turn a bit quicker? Hold down Shift while you use the arrows.
Move the content with W, A, S and D
To move the content around the screen, use the W, A, S and D keys:
- W moves it up
- S moves it down
- A moves it left
- D moves it right
Reset with C
Lost your bearings? Press the C key at any time to reset the camera view.
More to come
