How to zoom in a fast way (e.g. via shortcut)?

Post by pintman »

While doing some modelling I want to zoom in and out into some specific regions of the model in a fast way. The way to do this I recognized was to click the magnifier icon and do the zoom afterwards. The right click let me navigate over the canvas and move the entire scene to the point of interest. Is there a fast way to do this for zooming too?

Perhaps a short key I didnt find out yet would manage this.

Thanks for help.

Also, you can use the scroll wheel to zoom.

Yes thats right. But while using Moho I use the pen of my pen tablet which has no scroll wheel at all. :)

You can also set "Edit; Preferences; Options; Zoom with drag box" to drag a selection with the Zoom tool (or Shift-right-drag) and have Moho zoom in on that selection.
Home key to jump back out to normal view.
