Description

The Std ViewFitSelection command zooms and pans the camera so that all selected objects fit inside the active 3D view. This command is useful if for some reason objects are beyond the boundaries of the current 3D View or can't easily be found using 3D navigation.

Usage

  1. Select one or more objects.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the Fit selection button.
    • Select the View → Standard views → Fit selection option from the menu.
    • Select the Fit selection option from the 3D view context menu.
    • Select the Fit selection option from the Mini-cube menu of the Navigation Cube.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: V then S.
