Is there a way to select an object and zoom into it quickly in order to adjust it? I know you can do this in properties, is there another way?

Thank you!

Press the Right Mouse Button and shift it slightly, you will see the editor go into 3d camera mode (Freeflight editor). use the wasd keys to fly around while holding down the RMB. Use shift also for faster movement, and ctrl Key for very slow movement.

I think he probably means something more like a hotkey to frame the selected object. In Unity and Maya and some other apps you can click an entity either in the scene or a scene hierarchy and then press a single key such as F and it zooms in and frames the currently selected object. It's very handy and would be a great addition to the editor.

May be if you right click on a highlighted object the mouse is hovering over in top-down view it could zoom in.

Funny you should say that. As I was typing "he" I wondered if I might make that mistake, but your forum name gave no indication so I just took a chance. I apologize.

This has been discussed by Lee and he is looking into a way of accomplishing this without taking up the editor window on a permanent basis.

Thank you.
