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 Orbit Selected tool you used in the Perspective viewport also
works in the other viewports. Try it out on the Top viewport in this exercise:
1. Click the Orbit Selected tool.
2. Select one chair, and then 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 1.56.
The view changes to a type of 3D view known as an isometric projection. Also notice that the
label in the upper-left corner of the viewport now reads Orthographic. This indicates that the
view is a custom view based on your changes.
