This page provides information about the Full Screen mode in Envision.
Overview
The Full Screen mode lets you see the largest possible view of your scene. It provides several navigation modes for your scene: Standard, Walk, and Fly. All modes provide navigation methods for panning, orbiting and dollying your scene.
In Standard mode, the navigation controls are the same as in the non-full screen mode. The LMB is used for selection.
In Walk and Fly mode, most of the Standard mode controls are also used, but the LMB is used for orbiting. In addition, collision detection is enabled in Walk mode.
Note that all gizmos, such as selection highlight, transform, lights, cameras, dummies, etc, are hidden in Full Screen mode.
The Full Screen mode is accessible through the Enter Full Screen Mode (
) button in the viewport.
Unlock your camera to be able to navigate in Full Screen mode.
