| Welcome to the series of Blender Tutorials.

| This tutorial is about Navigation – Moving in 3D space in Blender 2.59.

| After watching this tutorial, we shall learn how to pan, rotate and zoom within a 3D space such as the Blender viewport.

| I assume that you already know how to install blender on your system.

| If not please refer to our earlier tutorials on Installing Blender.

| Navigation in the Blender depends a lot on the type of mouse you have –

|''' a 3 button mouse'''

| with a wheel.

| I am using a''' 2 button''' mouse with a wheel for this series of Blender Tutorials.

| The first action we shall see is Panning a view.

| There are three ways of doing this using the mouse and the keyboard.

| First we use the''' Shift''' key with the mouse wheel or scroll.

| Hold '''shift''', press down  the '''mouse-wheel''' and move the mouse.

| The scene pans in the direction of the mouse movement both   left to right  and  up and down .

| Now, hold''' SHIFT''' and scroll the '''mouse wheel''' up and down.

| The scene pans up and down. This is the second method of Panning the view.

| Hold '''SHIFT''' and scroll the '''mouse wheel''' downwards. The view pans upwards.

| Hold''' SHIFT''' and scroll the '''mouse wheel''' upwards. The view pans downwards.

| Third and last method of Panning the view, is to use the '''CTRL''' key with the''' mouse wheel.'''

|Hold''' CTRL''' and scroll the '''mouse wheel.''' The view pans from left to right and vice versa.

| Hold '''Ctrl''' and scroll the '''mouse wheel''' upwards. The view pans to the right.

| You can also use your '''numpad''' keys to pan the view.

| Hold '''ctrl''' and '''numpad2''' the view pans upwards.

|Hold '''Ctrl''' & '''numpad 8''' the view pans downwards.

| Hold''' Ctrl''' &''' numpad 4''' the view pans to the Left.

| Hold '''Ctrl''' &''' numpad 6''' the view pans to the right.

| If you are using a laptop, you need to emulate your number keys as '''numpad'''. To learn how to emulate numpad, see the tutorial on User Preferences.

| Press down your mouse wheel and move the mouse in a square pattern.

| That gives us turntable rotation.

| You can also use the trackball type of rotation in Blender for little more flexibility over the action of rotation.

| For this, you need to change the option '''turn table''' to  '''trackball''' in the User Preferences window.

| To learn how to do this, see the tutorial on User Preferences.</p>

| Now let us rotate the view left to right.

| You can also use the short cut keys''' 4''' and '''6''' on the num pad.

| Press '''numpad 4'''   the view rotates to the left.

| Press '''num pad 6'''   the view rotates to the right.

| Now we rotate the view up and down.

| Hold''' Shift''', '''Alt''' and scroll the '''mouse wheel''' up and down. The view rotates up and down

| You can also use the shortcut keys '''2''' and''' 8''' on the numpad.

| Press '''numpad 2'''   the view rotates upwards.

| Press '''numpad 8''' the view rotates downwards.

| Last action is Zooming the view.

| Scroll the mouse wheel upwards to zoom in.

| Scroll the mouse wheel downwards to zoom out. Easy isn’t it?

| For shortcut, use the '''plus''' and '''minus'''  keys on the numpad. </p>

| Press '''numpad ''' '''+''' to zoom in

| Press '''numpad ''' ''' –'''  to zoom out

|That wraps up our tutorial on Navigating in 3D space within the Blender View port.

| Now try to pan, rotate and zoom the 3D view. All the best!
