How to use keyboard to rotate model ?

[cyrilp]

I find it very difficult to rotate the model with the mouse when the "rotate sphere" is not visible.

is there a way to rotate it using keyboard instead ?

With the number keys you can jump to predefined views and rotate with increments.
1: side view
3: front view
7: top view

5: toggle between perspective and ortho

4/6: turn left/right
2/8: down/up

9: stereo

works with both the keypad as the top numbers.

if you're looking for a nice visualisation try the animation mode or the agisoft viewer

Hi,

Is there any way to adjust the rotation angle when using keys, in order to make it smoother?
Pressing the keys, the rotation is more than I need.

You can try the Trackball by going to: Models / Show Hide Items / Show Trackball

Thank you for your reply Tazzo.

I am looking for a shortcut key combination, but with proper incremental steps (e.g. 1 degree for each key press). Similar to the shortcut keys 4, 6, 2, 8 but for smoother rotations.
Is such option available?

I think you have to fine adjust with the trackball
