In this video, we are going to learn about navigation in SketchUp. SketchUp is a 3d modeling software. So the navigation is really important to create 3d modeling in a user friendly. So let's take a look for some navigation tools. Under the camera tab, you can find so many options for navigation. And there are three main navigation tools are here.

That is coffee Pan and Zoom, which is really important to learn. And it will help us in future shortcuts for all the pan and zoom is Oh, as you can see, so let's try this options one by one for a bit when we click of it, this is the sign that comes to our Casa and if you click left, click it. It will orbit around the wall. And then we'll be using pen There is a hand sign it is a hand tool. So it will just drag the model according to your need. And next is the zoom.

You have to you can zoom in zoom out, just drag it with the left mouse click and you are able to zoom in if I want to call decide this zoom. Also we do have shortcuts to use navigation tools. If you have three button mouse, if we click the center wheel mostly so the orbit we can use the orbit command sets like this. If we keep holding the center mouse wheel, it will orbit and when you're just rolling roll out the center gloss. It will zoom in zoom out. So it is quite handy when you have three button mouse so you are able to orbit around the world.

As well as you can zoom in zoom. In addition to these tools, I want to discuss couple of more tools that we have under navigation. So if we go to the camera, we have field of view, zoom window and some extent. If you click on field view, there is a person like a lens. This is the real zoom that we can see. if we drag it by clicking the left mouse click, look how it changes the field of view.

So it's just a derby it's just manipulates your orthographic projections of your model. So if you have in a model if you have any less space to view, so you can use field of view so you can see a more thing in less space. And if we talk about the zoom window, if this is the cursor it shows and then if you want to just focus on this window We can just create a square by clicking up left border, last Mouse Mouse button and then it will zoom in. And, and the final tool is some extent, it actually just covers all the models we have here. So it is quite nice to just zoom out and just zoom all and look the model the model from outside everything. So this is the so by using these tools you are able to navigate through schedule.

So I will request you to try it at your PC and laptop and just check it by yourself. It will be really easy to navigate in SketchUp if you're able to learn about these tools, and you will be able to model anything very easily.
