In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

panning in and out with the mouse wheel and other noob question
I need help lol. I was doing the tutorial on the victorian house and was doing the part where you had to copy objects to a layer.
but while doing that ( and not sure if it has to do anything with it) suddenly my mouse wheel doesnt work anymore to pan in and out a little anymore the cam goes crazy with just one click miles in and out but i cant work with it anymore. is there a setting where i can reset my cam angles, and also the panning in and out on my objects?
Furthermore i was being taught to make a project in Maya, and set the project so it opens up. but by closing maya it still asked me to save the scene, which i did and thankfully i did, cause otherwise the work would have been gone.
Whats the meaning of making a project if it opens immediately when you fire up Maya?

But, you may have a few projects on the go and you can switch between them (file > project > set project...). This tells maya which scene folder to save scenes in.
As for dollying in and out, I prefer to use Alt + RMB instead of the mouse wheel (more control). Hope that helps.

it does. The interface and things that can be done with it is just overwhelming. Hitting a wrong button is quickly done....
