Meshlab Usage¶

GUI Navigation with Mac Laptop¶

esc: toggle camera/edit mode
shift-cmd-H: return to home position
double click: change center of rotation
one finger drag: move viewpoint about rotation position
cmd-drag: pan (a big P appears)
two-finger (wheel): dolly forward/backward (mis-named zoom, zoom really means changing FOV)
shift+two-finger (shift wheel): change camera field of view, keep reducing it down to 5 degrees to switch to Orthographic
cmd+two-finger (ctrl wheel): move near clipping plane
cmd+shift+two-finger (ctrl-shift wheel): move far clipping plane
shift+cmd+one-finger: change light direction
opt/alt-return: toggle fullscreen mode

Switch to point rendering (rather than wireframe or solid) when navigating to where you want to be.

Point rendering manages ~4 fps whereas the others are difficult to use at 0.3 fps. Then switch to nicer rendering when in position.
