Introduction
************
To be able to work in the three-dimensional space that Blender uses,
you must be able to change your viewpoint as well as the viewing direction of the scene.
While we will describe the *3D Viewport* editor, most of the other editors have similar functions.
For example, it is possible to pan and zoom in the Image editor.
.. tip::
Some navigation tools require a middle mouse button or numpad.
If you don't have one of these, see the :doc:`Keyboard and Mouse </getting_started/configuration/hardware>`
page of the manual to learn how to work around this.
.. _navigation-gizmo:
Navigation Gizmo
================
The navigation gizmo can be found in the top right of the editor.
.. list-table:: Navigation Gizmo (left) and Navigation Gizmo in camera view (right).

The Orbit gizmo at the top shows the current orientation of the view.
Dragging it with :kbd:`LMB` will :ref:`orbit <bpy.ops.view3d.view_orbit>` the view.
Clicking any of the axis labels will :doc:`align </editors/3dview/navigate/viewpoint>` the view to that axis.
Clicking the same axis again switches to the opposite side of that same axis.
The four buttons below the orbit gizmo do the following:
- :ref:`Zoom the 3D Viewport <bpy.ops.view3d.zoom>`
- :ref:`Pan the 3D Viewport <bpy.ops.view3d.view_pan>`
- :doc:`Toggle the Camera View </editors/3dview/navigate/camera_view>`
- :doc:`Toggle the Projection </editors/3dview/navigate/projections>` /
:ref:`Toggle Lock Camera to View <bpy.types.SpaceView3D.lock_camera>` (in camera view)
