Most mouse devices now have at least two buttons and a scroll wheel (which is usually also a button). PhotoModeler utilizes the left and right buttons and the scroll wheel:
|
Button |
|
|
Left |
Used for typical windows application interaction and the method of selection of items in photos, tables and 3D Viewers. Can also be used in combination with the keyboard, e.g. Shift+Left Mouse will allow multi-select. See also Selection and Visibility.
In the 3D Viewer the left mouse button rotates the model (with or without Alt pressed, see Preferences - 3D Viewer, Selection and Navigation). |
|
Right |
Generally used to bring up context menus in various views, also called right-click menus.
In the 3D Viewer the right mouse button zooms the model (with or without Alt pressed, see Preferences - 3D Viewer, Selection and Navigation). |
|
Scroll Wheel |
Scrolling the wheel will zoom the active photo or a 3D Viewer in and out. Holding down the scroll button pans the photo.
In the 3D Viewer the scroll button pans the model (with or without Alt pressed, see Preferences - 3D Viewer, Selection and Navigation). |
Note: PhotoModeler also supports SpaceExplorer, SpaceNavigator and other 3D navigation devices by 3Dconnexion (see www.3dconnexion.com). For example, the 3D Viewer can be navigated with a SpaceExplorer/Space Navigator and using 1 button to up the options dialog and the 2 button will change the rotate around selected state.
