CHAPTER 1 GETTING TO KNOW VIZ
You may have noticed two other tools in the viewport navigation controls that haven’t been dis-
cussed yet: the Zoom All and Zoom Extents All tools. Now that you have multiple viewports displayed,
you can try out these two tools.
1. Click the Zoom All tool.
2. In any viewport, click and drag the cursor up. Notice that the view in all of the viewports is
enlarged to take in as much of the four chairs as can be displayed.
3. Click and drag the cursor down, and the views expand to show more of the model area.
4. Click the Zoom Extents All tool.
All of the viewports change to display enlarged views of the chairs, as shown in Figure 1.29.
Although not as frequently used as the other viewport navigation tools, the Zoom All tool and
the Zoom Extents All tool can be helpful when you need to adjust the overall view of your model
in multiple viewports.
You should be aware that the Arc Rotate Selected tool you used in the Perspective viewport also
works in the other viewports. Try it out on the Top viewport in the next exercise.
1. Click the Arc Rotate Selected tool.
2. Click and drag the cursor from the center of the Top viewport up and to the right, so it shows
a view similar to Figure 1.30.
