Navigate using the navigation tools

- [Instructor] Now that you've seen how to navigate using the ViewCube, let's take a minute and look at some of the navigation tools here on the right. I'm not going to go through all of them but I want to highlight the three most important. They're here in the center of the toolbar and they're pan, zoom and rotate. Panning allows you to left click and drag on the screen to reposition your model anywhere on the screen but not change the orientation of the model. To get out of the command, you simply have to return to the toolbar and click that same command again. Just below that you have the zoom button which will allow you to select a window to zoom around, and it'll pull your model into that window so that it gets closer.
