Keyboard shortcuts

In short: 1–8 jump to the standard camera angles, F frames the selection (or everything), R toggles auto-rotate, G toggles the grid, H hides the selected model, and Ctrl+E exports a thumbnail. On a Mac, use Cmd instead of Ctrl.

Shortcuts work whenever the studio is focused. They're paused while you're typing in a text box or a dialog is open, so they never get in the way.

#Frequently asked questions

#Why isn't a shortcut working?

Shortcuts pause while you're typing in a text field (such as the file name prefix) and while a dialog is open. Click on the viewport and try again.

#Can I change the shortcuts?

Not at the moment. The shortcuts are fixed.
