22 CINEMA 4D R11 Quickstart – Arranging Objects
As you can see in the editor window, only one cube is visible. That’s because all cubes are located at the same
coordinates and are the same size, with the sphere in the center. Of course we will want to change this state
now, but first a quick introduction to navigating the editor window. How do I rotate and move my point of
view? Simple. Take a glance at the top right corner of the editor window. Here you will find four small symbols
with which you can change your point of view (of course we mean the point of view of the editor window, not
your personal point of view. We can have little influence on the latter.)
The first symbol (click – hold – move mouse) moves the view. The second symbol (foreshortened double arrow)
lets you zoom in and out and the third (curved arrows with a dot in the center) lets you rotate the scene.
Selecting the little rectangle to the right will divide the entire editor into four views, giving you a better overall
view of the scene. Each of the four views has its own little rectangle which, when clicked, enlarges the respective
window. Zoom out a little and select the object “Head“ in the Object Manager. The head‘s axis will be visible
in the editor window. Drag the head‘s green object axis to a point over the cubes.
