It's me again VAB - Is there a way to pan out?

[joekidd1992]

I'm getting to the point of not being able to build because I'm too close view-wise to the vehicle. It fills up the screen and makes it impossible to manipulate modules to the places I need.

You can press - and + on your numpad to zoom out. And also press The Pageup and Pagedown key to go up and down.

You can view all the available controls here.

In addition to Tortoise's comment, if you're using a laptop or tenkeyless keyboard you can remap the zoom controls to keys you actually have, I use the "-" and "=" keys beside Backspace.

Also, if you hold SHIFT and scroll the mousewheel it will also change the Zoom.

Also, if you hold SHIFT and scroll the mousewheel it will also change the Zoom.

And assuming your mouse wheel clicks, you can hold it down and drag your mouse down to zoom out.(different in sph)

Yes I spent a lot of time frustrated tonight learning how to assemble rockets. The worst is when I go to click on one thing and mistakenly grab another piece, which then detaches, and I can't get it re-attached in the correct spot... usually it's with engines on those radial decouplers, they just don't want to "link up" very easily once you break the connection.

Press Ctrl+Z to return the part to its original spot, then press Delete to destroy the part still stuck to your mouse.
