DO I NEED A MOUSE?
No, you do not, but if you have one, we recommend using it, as you will always get the best experience using any 3D software with a mouse.
If you do not have a mouse, don't worry, we have in-software controls. Combining these with keyboard and trackpad controls will help you get the most out of your software navigation with a few specific clicks.
