How to Move in Blender: Navigating the Viewport with the Mouse and Touchpad

In Blender, moving the view around your scene is essential for navigating and working efficiently. Here's how you can do it:
1. Orbiting (Rotating the View)
Middle Mouse Button (MMB): Click and hold the middle mouse button, then move your mouse to rotate around the scene.
Numpad 2, 4, 6, 8: Use these keys to rotate the view in increments.
2. Panning (Moving the View Side to Side or Up and Down)
Shift + Middle Mouse Button (MMB): Hold down the Shift key and the middle mouse button, then move your mouse to pan the view.
Numpad 4, 6 (left/right) or Numpad 8, 2 (up/down): Use these keys to pan the view.
3. Zooming
Scroll Wheel: Use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out.
Ctrl + Middle Mouse Button (MMB): Hold down Ctrl and the middle mouse button, then move the mouse up or down to zoom.
Numpad + and Numpad -: Use these keys to zoom in and out incrementally.
4. Focus on an Object
Numpad . (Period Key): Select an object and press Numpad . to center the view on the selected object.
5. Switching View Modes
Numpad 1, 3, 7: These keys quickly switch to the front, side, or top orthographic views, respectively.
Numpad 5: Toggles between orthographic and perspective views.
These controls should help you navigate your scene more effectively in Blender.

For those who find it difficult to use the middle mouse button or rely solely on a touchpad, you can easily enable this feature in Blender:
Open Blender, then go to the "Edit" menu in the top left corner.
Select "Preferences," and from there, navigate to the "Input" tab.
In the mouse settings section, enable the "Emulate 3 Button Mouse" option.
Once this option is activated, you can use the Alt key as a substitute for the middle mouse button, allowing you to easily control the viewport within the program as demonstrated in the video.

لمن يواجهون صعوبة في استخدام زر الفأرة الأوسط أو يعتمدون على لوحة التتبع فقط، يمكنهم تفعيل هذه الخاصية في Blender بكل سهولة:
قم بفتح برنامج Blender، ثم انتقل إلى قائمة "تحرير" في الجزء العلوي الأيسر.
اختر "التفضيلات"، ومن هناك انتقل إلى تبويب "الإدخال".
في قسم إعدادات الماوس، فعّل خيار "محاكاة الفأرة بثلاثة أزرار".
بعد تفعيل هذا الخيار، يمكنك استخدام مفتاح Alt كبديل لزر الفأرة الأوسط، مما يتيح لك التحكم في العرض داخل البرنامج بسهولة تامة، كما هو موضح في الفيديو.
