View Controls
Silo's view controls, in the default setting, are
based on holding combinations of Alt and mouse buttons while dragging
the mouse. The view can only be rotated in Perspective and Free Ortho
camera views. Shading modes in Silo are per-object, so one object can be
displayed in wireframe mode while another is flat shaded. If nothing is
selecting, cycling the shading mode will apply the same shading mode to
all geometry in the scene. It may be useful to have unselected objects
displayed in wireframe mode (the Unselected To Wireframe
function will do this for you), so that you can more easily access your
editable geometry in a complicated scene. All of the mouse
buttons, including view controls, can be completely customized.
Default view controls:
- Hold Alt + Left Mouse Button (LMB) to rotate the view. Rotation will
occur around the manipulator.
- Hold Alt + Middle Mouse Button (MMB) to pan the view.
- Hold Alt + MMB + LMB to zoom the view.
- Scroll to zoom the view
- Hold Ctrl + Alt and scroll the mousewheel to cycle shading modes. (Or
use the default hotkey, 0.)
