For those familiar with Maya, if you have an object selected and you press ‘F’, the object is brought into focus. If no object is selected then all the objects in the scene are brought into focus. In this post, you will learn how to achieve this in Blender.

Method 1: Press the dot key on the numeric keypad

Select the object you want to bring into focus, the press the dot (.) key on your keyboard. To show all non-hidden objects in the 3D View, press the Home key on your keyboard.

Method 2: Use the 3D viewport header menu

  • Select the object that you want to bring into focus
  • Go to the header menu of the 3D viewport
  • Select View > Align View > Align View to Active > Then select if you want to focus on the Top, Bottom, Side, etc. Now your object has been brought into focus.
