Maya 103: Views, Display and Navigation

Maya 103: Views, Display and Navigation
Using Maya 2016

1) Switching Views

At the moment, we are viewing the objects through the persp panel (perspective panel).
Switching views is done through the following steps:
1 - Press Spacebar to Switch to Four-panel Layout (make sure that your mouse is within the panel area)
2 - Move the mouse into persp panel and press Spacebar to Switch back to Single-panel Layout

2) Switching Display Types

At the moment it is possible to view objects in Wireframe or Shaded Display mode.
Press 4 to view objects in Wireframe mode.
Press 5 to view objects in Shaded Display mode.
There are two more modes (6=Shaded Display with Texture Maps and 7=Lights options). They may be useful at later stage.
For example, pressing 7 will give you shadowed objects because it requires a proper light set up in order to invoke this mode.

3) Navigating The Space

We can navigate in the space through the combinations of Keys and Mouse Clicks
