Macbook Hotkeys

Hello,

I’m trying to locate an updated list of hotkeys for Mac. I found a posting on the forum from 2015 and the function I’m trying to perform I do not see anything in this list and I’m wondering is there an updated list somewhere? I notice in a lot of videos people are able to rotate their camera view during build/buy mode with an object in hand. Currently when I’m in build/buy mode if I want to rotate to another wall or area I have to deselect my object or it just rotated the object selected and not the actual view. I hope that makes sense.

    If you're on a Mac notebook, or use an external trackpad, you can rotate the camera whilst having an object or room selected by rotating your fingers on the trackpad, like when you rotate an image or PDF in Preview.

    There will be an equivalent for a mouse, check the settings in System Preferences 🙂

    @candiecoatediv , nothing has changed in regards to the Hot Keys for the Mac or for Windows OS machines. They are the same. If you want to rotate the camera while holding an objects, you can do that with the controls found at the top of your screen in Build/Buy mode.

    @Tremayne4260 i completely forgot about the camera rotation at the top thank you it worked! And @Bluebellflora i was able to go into system preferences and enable rotation for the trackpad and this worked as well! Thank you both!
