Figure 1.15 - Navigation buttons
The navigation buttons have similar options to the shortcuts with mouse
and keyboard. For instance, if you want a more interactive way to go
around in the 3D space, you can use the Orbit gizmo.
By clicking and dragging with the mouse inside the Gizmo, you will be
able to rotate your view. Using the circles inside the Gizmo also
activates orthographic views for your scene. For instance, using the
circle with a Z inside makes your view jump to the top.
Info: All navigation and zoom controls will work on most of the Editor in
Blender. Unless they don't have compatible data. For instance, you will
only be able to use 3D rotation in the Viewport.
