For navigating in your 3d model, 2 common methods are supported. You can set which one you want to use. Tab Settings & Manual > Settings > Navigate tab See Navigating
 
1. Method as in '''Autodesk Revit''' (default)
 
* '''Zooming in and out'': Use the mouse wheel.
* '''Pan'': Press the mouse wheel and drag.
* '''Orbit'': Press the mouse wheel and '''SHIFT''' key together and drag.
 
2. Method as in '''Tekla structures'''
* '''Zoom in and out": Use the mouse wheel.
* '''Pan": Press the mouse wheel and drag.
* '''Orbit": Press the mouse wheel and '''CTRL''' key together and drag.
 
XFEM4U also supports the use of a 3d mouse (from e.g. [https://3dconnexion.com/nl/spacemouse/ 3D Connection] ) which makes working even easier and faster.
