Keyboard shortcuts

On macOS use ⌘ where the table says Ctrl.

Global

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl+N	New — clear everything and reset to a fresh start
Ctrl+K	Open the command palette
Ctrl+,	Open Settings
Ctrl+Z	Undo
Ctrl+Y or Shift+Ctrl+Z	Redo (the macOS menu advertises Shift+⌘+Z)
Ctrl+S	Save
Shift+Ctrl+E	Export…
Ctrl+A	Select All
Shift+Ctrl+A	Deselect All
Ctrl+0	Reset camera (fit all)
Ctrl+9	Fit to selection

The command palette is the fastest way to reach any feature by name — start typing, use ↑/↓ to move through the results, Enter to run, Esc to close.

Viewer (mouse)

Action	Mouse
Orbit camera	Left-click drag
Pan camera	Right-click drag, middle-click drag, or Shift/Ctrl/⌘ + left-click drag
Zoom	Scroll wheel (flies toward the cursor)
Frame the selection	F, or the Zoom to Selection button
Select a mesh	Left-click the mesh (draws a highlight outline)
Add/remove a mesh from the selection	⌘/Ctrl + left-click the mesh
Clear the mesh selection	Left-click empty space
Select a scan	Left-click its scanner marker (same as clicking its row in the Scans panel)
Add/remove a scan from the selection	⌘/Ctrl + left-click its scanner marker
Label a point (while Pick Point is armed)	Left-click the point

A voxel grid box is deliberately "click-through": because it usually encloses the very geometry it measures, clicking it selects whatever is inside or behind it instead. The grid itself is selected by clicking a part of the box with nothing behind it, or from its row in the Meshes panel.

Tool modes

When an edit tool is active (Transform, Crop, Erase, Rotate):

Shortcut	Action
Enter	Exit the tool
Esc	Exit the tool (and cancel a polygon in progress)

Neither key applies anything — running an operation is always an explicit click on the panel's run button, so you can't trigger one by accident while typing a coordinate. In Crop, Enter inside a dimension/center input just commits the typed value.

(Filter and Resample are panels rather than edit tools, so these keys don't apply to them.)

Crop polygon (while drawing)

Shortcut	Action
Left-click	Add a polygon vertex
Right-click	Remove the last vertex
Backspace	Remove the last vertex
Enter	Close the polygon
Esc	Cancel the polygon

Crop rect (while drawing)

Shortcut	Action
Left-click-drag	Draw the rectangle (release to commit)
Esc	Cancel the rectangle

Crop box draw (while placing corners)

Shortcut	Action
Left-click	Place a corner on the ground plane (two clicks)
Esc	Cancel the draw

Erase brush

Shortcut	Action
E	Toggle erase mode on/off (while the Erase tool is open)

Open the Erase tool with the toolbar button — the view stays interactive so you can frame your shot. E (or the panel's Start Erasing button) then toggles erase mode: ON freezes the viewport and click / click-drag stamps square erase regions (each cuts straight through the cloud); OFF unfreezes the view so you can reorient without closing the tool. Apply with the panel's Apply Erase button or discard with Clear Strokes. E only acts while the Erase tool is open.

Point picker

Shortcut	Action
Esc	Disarm the picker (placed labels stay)

The view stays fully interactive while the picker is armed: a click labels the point under the cursor, a click-drag orbits as usual. Clear the labels from the panel's Clear all, or dismiss one with its ✕. See Inspect a point.

Transform gestures (Blender-style)

These fire on the current selection with no tool open — just make sure focus isn't in a text field. The one exception is T on a point cloud, which is ignored unless the Transform tool is already open (the panel is what commits the move):

Shortcut	Action
T	Translate
S	Scale (meshes only)
R	Rotate (meshes only)
X / Y / Z	Lock to axis
Shift + X / Y / Z	Lock to the perpendicular plane
Press the same axis again	Return to free movement
Type a number	Exact amount (degrees for rotate) — e.g. R X 45. Accepts - and .
Backspace	Delete the last typed digit
Enter / click	Set the value
Esc / right-click	Cancel this entry

The T translate gesture works on point clouds, skeletons, and meshes; the S/R scale and rotate gestures apply to the selected mesh. To rotate a point cloud, use the Transform panel's Rotation fields or its rotation rings (see below).

For a point cloud, this gesture only sets the pending position in the Transform panel — it does not apply the move. Click OK in the panel to apply it (or Cancel to discard). See Clean a point cloud → Transform.

Selection (Scene panel)

Shortcut	Action
Shift + click	Range select
Ctrl + click	Add to / remove from selection
