Default Toggle Viewport?

I know how to go from one viewport to a four view useing the tool bar, but I do not know the hot keys to switch from top view, back view, side view quickly. In Maya you just put your pointer over the viewport you want to expand and hit the space bar. Does LW have any kind of short cut (hot key) to the different viewports?


Thanks
Kori

Put your pointer over a viewport and hit '0' on the Numeric Pad of the keyboard. That enlarges the viewport where the pointer resides.

All the numbers on the Numeric Pad somehow switch between side, back, front, top and other things. I haven't really needed to find out each of of the numbers because i don't switch that often.

Hope that helps dude!

The numeric pad other than 0 works in Layout not in Modeller,,, but to set to your own config,,, hold the Ctrl + Number to set it..

Hehe,,,, a lot of shortcuts....

But if you should play around with the Ctrl + Shift + L/M/R click .... Soon if you set things right you can even do away with the buttons...
