It’s meant for higher resolution displays I guess.
Or switch Virtual Pixel Mode to Double, doubling the font and icon sizes. Say no more – I feel your pain: head over to File – User Preferences – System and you can do two things to ease the pain.Įither change the DPI to something higher (the default is 72). Any chance we can change that abysmally tiny font to something along the lines of “usable”? Hence, ALT + LEFT CLICK (and drag) is the same as Middle Mouse Button click. With the option “Emulate 3 Button Mouse” enabled, the middle mouse button click is emulated using the ALT key. orbit using the Middle Mouse Button (hold and drag).At times I’m using a Logitech M325, available for as little as $14 (or more if you like stylish designs). Mouse NavigationĪlthough Blender works just fine with a Magic Trackpad, modelling is a little easier and faster with a cheaply to come by 3-button mouse. To revert back to rotating around the scene centre, either hit SHIFT-C or select “Centre Cursor and View All”, followed by “Centre View to Cursor” from the same menu. To rotate around an object instead, select it first by right-clicking it (or two-finger tapping the object), then choose View – Align View – View Selected.

Tick it and save the preferences to make it survive an app restart. If this happens to work the wrong way round for your brain, it’s easy to invert this behaviour: head over to File – User Preferences – Input and find the option that reads “Natural Trackpad Direction”. Pan by holding SHIFT and use two-finger swipe.
Zoom using two-finger pinch, or the PLUS and MINUS keys.Here’s how to navigate a 3D scene using gestures: Using Blender with the integrated Magic Trackpad on my MacBook works a treat – it’s intuitive even! It’s a nice surprise in the otherwise daunting user experience Blender has to offer.
