2. Views and Viewports
You can open as many view panels as you like. Each view panel has its own display settings. A view
panel can display up to four viewports (views of a scene), each with its own display settings.
Viewport icons
When you orbit the camera, it usually rotates around the selected object’s
origin; however, if you hold down Ctrl at the same time while you orbit the
camera, the camera will rotate around its own origin instead. Or if you hold
down Shift at the same time, the camera will rotate around the center of the
view taking into account the selected object’s Z distance or, if no objects are
selected, the world origin’s Z distance.
In the top right of each viewport you’ll nd four icons. The right-most icon toggles the active view. The
remaining three icons move, zoom and rotate the camera (drag from the icon to see the effect).
