This page provides a quick starting point on how to navigate around the project in Enscape Envision.
Overview
Navigation in Envision integrates mouse and keyboard controls for precise project exploration. Some controls are enabled entirely with the mouse, with the keyboard, or with combinations of the two. Apart from Envision native controls, you can set the navigation to work as in Chaos Enscape from the Edit menu > Preferences > Navigation Preset.
To understand the controls, you should assume the following abbreviations:
Icon | Abbreviation | Description |
|---|
Icon | Abbreviation | Description |
|---|---|---|
LMB | Left mouse button. | |
RMB | Right mouse button. | |
MMB | Middle mouse button. |

Navigation Modes
There are two main viewport modes: Full Screen and Non-Full Screen. Non-Full Screen mode uses standard navigation controls. Full Screen mode offers two navigation modes for your project, with controls that slightly differ: Walk and Fly.
All modes provide methods for panning, orbiting, and dollying your project.
For more information about the Full Screen mode and its navigation modes, see the Full Screen Viewport page.
