I zoomed in close to select vertices in a tutorial I’m trying to follow. I zoomed in close OK but now I’m stuck there and cannot pan or zoom out in the 3d view. In Video Sequence Editor and UV/Image Editor I can pan and zoom but not back in 3d view. Tried closing and re-opening but there I am; stuck in real close. Must be a real simple solution?:yes:
Thanks for any help.

You have what I call “zoom lock” and it occurs when you zoom way in on something small when originally you were working on something fairly large. Never mind the details though. In the future, select the items you want to edit and then use the ‘numpad .’ This will center the action around the selected elements and zoom into it at the same time. With one vertex selected, it won’t do anything, since at least two points of reference are required for it to work. Doing it this way will prevent the “locking”. To get out of this mess, use the outliner to select another object, or get out of edit mode and hit ‘numpad .’ and the zoom will reset to fit the entire object.
That did it, ajm! Thanks for your time.
