How to drag and rotate a 3D object under Unity Scene editor ( black eye icon )?

[rickygai]

I saw some tutorial video, where the author is working under MacOS and wondering how to drag and rotate a 3D object under Unity Scene editor ( no scripting ) like the black eye icon below ? Is this feature available under PC as well ( aside using ‘e’ to rotate ) ?

Please advise.

Hi,

This looks like the icon that you get if you press the middle mouse button in the scene window to rotate the scene view.

See “Orbit” in the manual:

Unity - Manual: Scene view navigation

Is this what you were looking for?

Thanks Nina, found the answer, below is the stepwise:

1. At Scene page, hold the ALT key
2. Wait for the eye icon to show up.
3. Left mouse click and drag to orbit the 3D object.

NOTE: Sometime at step 2, the eye icon is not showing up, press the SHIFT key to clear then repeat step 1 again.
