FAQ: I can not SHIFT+Drag to Spin (or CTRL+Drag to Pan) the model. Why?

You will find you cannot Spin or Pan your model with the Drag technique if your mouse is above an element such that it changes to the Selected-Color.

Make sure your mouse-pointer (cursor) is not above any other element before you Mouse-Button-Down to start to drag.

Note:

We recommend you use your keyboard arrow-keys (up-down-left-right) to Spin the model - see more : Keyboard shortcuts.
