Movement

Drag to turn, wheel or pinch to zoom, right‑drag or two‑finger drag to pan. Zooming in does not stop at the model: past the closest the pivot will come, it carries on forward, through the colonnade and out the other side. The arrows turn too; Ctrl with up and down moves in and out, and with left and right slides sideways; Shift is faster—except while this interface is up, where the arrows step the passages.
H hides the interface, and brings it back.
V copies a link to the current view.
