Pan/Select and jump to 3D map questions

[PoorOldSpike]

I click Pan/Select but nothing happens. Whats it supposed to do?

Next question- when I place a ground unit on the 2D map in the Editor, is there a key I can hit to immediately jump to it in the 3D world to make sure its in a good spot and that its facing etc is okay?

PAN/SELECT is not a button, just indicating that you are in that mode.

Editor and F10 map is 2D only (you can preview objects in the Loadout Tab, though).

To place a unit more precise you should activate the tank icon right of the PAN/SELECT indicator. This shows a top down view of the actual unit and helps placement and facing.

Quite a while ago, trick is to hop from ME to 'prepare mission', option 'save changes' and load. F10 map mouse click on area where you're editing and do Ctrl-F11 for free camera there. Mouse wheel after click does pan and zoom, R_SHFT-/ & * are fast zoom. Regular slow zooms are too slow, but for very close. I had buttons on a separate input for all this. Fast Zoom is really fast, so you click real short. Remember what needs to be moved where, back to ME, reposition, repeat.
