Define the orbit rotation point by clicking on an object

Define the orbit rotation point by clicking on an object

When navigating the 3D view in orbit mode, you can click and hold to rotate the model around a point. Two options are possible to define the position of the center of rotation: the center of the 3D view, or a point that you choose by clicking. This is recommended for models with small geometry or with a lot of space between components.

To switch from one option to another, you can go to Extra > Settings > Navigation. When the option "Click defines center of orbit" is disabled, the center of rotation will be the center of the 3D view.
