You can use the mouse to zoom in on and zoom out of the world. The way that you use the mouse to zoom in or out depends on the navigation mode. The zoom is toward or away from the center of the active viewing pane, and is possible from any viewing angle. For a demonstration of how to zoom the world, view the “Zooming the World” video, either on the GitHub site or on SHIP.
To zoom in on specific game objects, use the Frame and Frame All commands.
