Viewport Navigation Wish

This is the workflow I’ve been using for years with viewports: I keep the orthographic views on the left, and the perspective and isometric views on the right. That way, when I switch between orthographic views, only the left side changes, while the two views on the right stay untouched.

Then, of course, I maximize a viewport whenever I want to focus on a single view, and quickly switch between all views using the tabs/buttons at the bottom.

Unfortunately, this is the only real workaround for people like me who need to switch very quickly from one view to another.


I never understood why Rhino doesn’t have this more intelligent approach where you can quickly switch from right to left, top to bottom, or from isometric to perspective using a single icon/navigation widget like the ones present in several CAD software. It allows a much faster workflow and viewport navigation. Maybe we could see something like this in Rhino 10?

you can alias view changes and in v9 they can be single stroke keys…
f,t,r,p, could all be assigned to view changes (or whatever keys you want)

simply add your key and
_front
_right
_left
_perspective

to the command section-
