View Controls

View Controls are the orientation and camera controls used to inspect the model from different directions while working in the Modeling Area.

What You Can Do

Reorient the view while inspecting parts and assemblies
Use orientation controls and gizmos to understand model direction
Switch focus between different viewing angles while preparing selections and edits
Combine camera movement with Scene interaction for point-and-click workflows

Why They Matter

They make it easier to understand model orientation before selecting geometry
They help you inspect features from standard and angled views
They reduce selection mistakes when working on complex geometry

Gizmo Types

Zoo Design Studio supports more than one orientation gizmo style in the Modeling Area. The selected style changes how the view-direction control looks, but not the underlying camera behavior.

Axis Gizmo

The Axis gizmo shows the model orientation as labeled axes. This style is compact and works well when you want a lightweight directional reference while keeping the scene unobstructed.

Cube Gizmo

The Cube gizmo shows orientation as a clickable cube. This style makes it easier to think in named standard views such as top, bottom, front, back, left, and right.

Some view behavior is configured from user settings, especially:

camera projection
camera orbit
gizmo type
mouse controls

See User Settings > Modeling for those preferences.
