The 3D viewer allows you to navigate your model within Bench3D and attach issues to it. Additionally, it contains tools that are useful for identifying issues and for your team members to get a better sense of your model, like measurements and sections.

Open your model

The navigation bar at the top of the 3D viewer will help you get a good sense of the model.

Mouse buttons

Navigating using the mouse uses the main buttons: left mouse, right mouse and the scroll wheel. This makes it easier for everyone to navigate, without having to use a keyboard or a middle mouse button.

• Left mouse is for orbit
• Right mouse is for pan
• Scroll wheel is for zoom

<aside> 📌 If you are on a trackpad, you can use the view tools in the toolbar.

Keyboard short cuts

To work with Bench3D even faster, we have shortcuts to navigate.
