6. Changing the settings
lOn the Interface Tab, check
lZoom To Mouse Position
lRotate Around Selection
lThen click Save as Default
7. For Notebooks
Blender users the Number pad constantly,
and since most Laptops, Notebooks do not
have one. It will need to be Emulate
On the Input Tab
Check Emulate Numpad
This will use the number keys
instead of the Numpad
8. Fixing the User Interface
What if the entire layout changes
lIt's likely that you've changes screen layout
If everything disappears
lTry <shift> + c to center the 3D view
lTry <alt> + h to unhide everything
What is it all goes wrong?
lFile -> Load Factory Settings
lThe only hassle with this is that you lose everything.
