+Level Viewport
+==============
+
+This section describes how to navigate the Level Viewport so you can inspect,
+edit, and compose scenes comfortably. The viewport supports both quick,
+mouse-only navigation for casual inspection and more precise, keyboard-plus-
+mouse controls for editing and layout work.
+
+Basic mouse navigation
+======================
+
+If you only need a quick look around, the mouse provides simple and immediate
+controls. Rolling the mouse wheel zooms the camera in and out. Clicking and
+dragging the ``Middle Mouse Button`` orbits the view around the current
+interest point. The orbit center typically coincides with the last framed
+selection, so framing an object first (see the :ref:`Framing objects`
+section) gives you a predictable pivot for orbiting.
+
+Keyboard + mouse navigation
+===========================
+
+For more controlled camera adjustments, combine keyboard modifiers with mouse
+actions.
+
+* Hold ``Left Alt`` while dragging with the ``Left Mouse Button`` to rotate
+  around the interest point;
+* Hold ``Left Alt`` and drag with the ``Middle Mouse Button`` to pan the view
+  horizontally and vertically;
+* Hold ``Left Alt`` and drag with the ``Right Mouse Button`` to zoom in and
+  out.
+
+Flythrough navigation
+=====================
+
+When you need to traverse the level at speed, use flythrough mode. Hold the
+``Right Mouse Button`` to control the camera orientation with the mouse, then
+use the keyboard to move the camera as if you were playing a first-person
+game:
+
+* ``W`` / ``S`` to move forward and backward;
+* ``A`` / ``D`` to strafe left and right;
+* ``Q`` / ``E`` to move the camera up and down.
+
+Flythrough mode is handy for scanning large environments, testing sightlines,
+or checking level flow at player height.
+
+Selecting objects
+=================
+
+Selecting objects is the primary way to focus edits and transformations on
+specific objects in the scene. Left-click an object to select it; a dim
+orange outline will be drawn around selected objects in the viewport:
+
+.. image:: images/selected_cube.png
+
+If a selected object is occluded by unselected ones, Crown still highlights it
+with a slightly dimmed orange outline so you can keep working with it even
+when it is not fully visible:
+
+.. image:: images/selected_sphere_occluded.png
+
+To clear the current selection, just left-click an empty area or press
+``Shift + Ctrl + A``.
+
+Multiple selection
+------------------
+
+Hold ``Left Shift`` while left-clicking to add unselected objects to the
+current selection. Conversely, left-click an already selected object to
+remove it from the selection.
+
+To select multiple objects by area, left-click and drag to draw a selection
+rectangle; any object that intersects that rectangle will be selected.
+
+.. image:: images/box_selection.png
+
+Framing objects
+===============
+
+Framing centers and zooms the camera on selected objects so you can work on
+them with a consistent viewpoint.
+
+Select one or more objects and press ``F`` to frame the current selection; the
+camera will pan and zoom so the selected objects fill the viewport
+comfortably. Press ``A`` to frame the entire scene.
+
+Framing is especially useful before orbiting or when you want to set a stable
+interest point for subsequent camera manipulations.
+
+Placing objects
+===============
+
+Place content into the scene by entering place mode or by dragging units from
+the Project Browser.
+
+Press ``Q`` to enter place mode; the cursor then becomes a placement tool and
+a chosen unit can be spawned with a mouse click. If no unit is selected for
+spawning, clicks have no effect. At any time, press ``Esc`` to exit placing
+mode: Crown will enter the tool that was active before entering place mode.
+
+Dragging a Unit directly from the Project Browser into the Level Viewport
+automatically selects the Spawn tool and sets the dragged unit as the current
+spawn candidate.
+
+Click the ``Left Mouse Button`` to place the unit. By default Crown raycasts
+from the camera origin through the mouse cursor to determine the Z height
+where the unit should be positioned. If you click and hold the ``Left Mouse
+Button``, then move the mouse, Crown will place the unit at any XY location
+on the horizontal plane defined by the height where you first clicked. This
+lets you position objects precisely along a fixed elevation.
+
+Moving, rotating, and scaling objects
+=====================================
+
+Transform objects with the standard ``W``, ``E``, and ``R`` keys to enter
+Move, Rotate, and Scale modes respectively.
+
+When one or more objects are selected, Crown displays a transform gizmo at the
+origin of the selection. The gizmo provides axis handles, planar handles and
+a camera-aligned handle. Interact with the gizmo using left-click and drag.
+
+.. image:: images/move_rotate_scale.png
+
+Move gizmo
+----------
+
+* Left-click and drag an axis handle to move the object along that axis.
+* Drag the small red, green, or blue rectangles to move the object constrained
+  to the XY, YZ, or ZX plane respectively.
+* Drag the small gray circle at the gizmo origin to move the object on the
+  plane parallel to the camera view.
+
+Rotate gizmo
+------------
+
+* Drag any red, green, or blue arc to rotate the object around the X, Y, or Z
+  axis.
+* Drag the large gray circle to rotate the object around the axis that is
+  perpendicular to the camera view plane.
+
+Scale gizmo
+-----------
+
+* Drag an axis handle to scale the object along that axis.
+* Drag the colored rectangles (for example red-green to scale on the XY plane)
+  to scale across the respective plane.
+* Drag the large gray circle to scale uniformly on all axes at once.
+
+Local and World axis
+--------------------
+
+Normally, gizmo axes are aligned to the local coordinate system of the
+selected object. That makes transforms intuitive when you want to move,
+rotate, or scale an object relative to its own orientation. However, when an
+object is rotated inconveniently, local axes can make it difficult to perform
+edits that must align to the scene or the world origin.
+
+Switching to the ``World Axis`` mode forces all gizmos to align to the world
+coordinate system regardless of the selected object's local transformations.
+
+Toggle axis mode using the Local/World Axis control in the toolbar:
+
+.. image:: images/local_world_axis.svg
+
+Snapping
+========
+
+By default Crown lets you position and rotate objects freely. When you require
+precision, enable grid and angle snapping to constrain transforms to fixed
+increments. Toggle snapping by clicking the ``Snap To Grid`` button on the
+toolbar:
+
+.. image:: images/toolbar_snap_to_grid.svg
+
+With snapping enabled, movement and rotation will snap to the configured grid
+size and snap angle. Hold ``Left Ctrl`` while performing a transform to
+temporarily disable snapping and make a single free adjustment.
+
+Change the grid cell size or the snap angle with ``Ctrl+G`` and ``Ctrl+H``
+respectively. These shortcuts open dialogs where you can type exact numeric
+values for the grid spacing and angle increment:
+
+.. image:: images/grid_size_dialog.png
+
+Relative and Absolute snapping
+------------------------------
+
+Crown offers two snapping coordinate modes. In Relative Snapping mode the
+snapping grid origin is aligned to the origin of the object being
+transformed; this makes the grid move together with the object and is
+convenient for local adjustments.
+
+In Absolute Snapping mode the snapping grid is fixed at the world origin,
+which is useful for aligning multiple objects to a common global grid.
+
+Switch between the two modes using the ``Relative Snap`` and ``Absolute Snap``
+toolbar buttons.

+<h2>Basic mouse navigation<a class="headerlink" href="#basic-mouse-navigation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>If you only need a quick look around, the mouse provides simple and immediate

+dragging the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Middle</span> <span class="pre">Mouse</span> <span class="pre">Button</span></code> orbits the view around the current
+interest point. The orbit center typically coincides with the last framed

+<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Right</span> <span class="pre">Mouse</span> <span class="pre">Button</span></code> to control the camera orientation with the mouse, then
+use the keyboard to move the camera as if you were playing a first-person

+<ul class="simple">
+<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">W</span></code> / <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">S</span></code> to move forward and backward;</p></li>

+<h2>Selecting objects<a class="headerlink" href="#selecting-objects" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Selecting objects is the primary way to focus edits and transformations on

+orange outline will be drawn around selected objects in the viewport:</p>
+<img alt="../_images/selected_cube.png" src="../_images/selected_cube.png" />
+<p>If a selected object is occluded by unselected ones, Crown still highlights it

+when it is not fully visible:</p>
+<img alt="../_images/selected_sphere_occluded.png" src="../_images/selected_sphere_occluded.png" />
+<p>To clear the current selection, just left-click an empty area or press

+<p>To select multiple objects by area, left-click and drag to draw a selection

+<p>Select one or more objects and press <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">F</span></code> to frame the current selection; the
+camera will pan and zoom so the selected objects fill the viewport
+comfortably. Press <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">A</span></code> to frame the entire scene.</p>

+<p>Place content into the scene by entering place mode or by dragging units from
+the Project Browser.</p>
+<p>Press <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Q</span></code> to enter place mode; the cursor then becomes a placement tool and
+a chosen unit can be spawned with a mouse click. If no unit is selected for
+spawning, clicks have no effect. At any time, press <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Esc</span></code> to exit placing
+mode: Crown will enter the tool that was active before entering place mode.</p>
+<p>Dragging a Unit directly from the Project Browser into the Level Viewport
+automatically selects the Spawn tool and sets the dragged unit as the current
+spawn candidate.</p>
+<p>Click the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Left</span> <span class="pre">Mouse</span> <span class="pre">Button</span></code> to place the unit. By default Crown raycasts
+from the camera origin through the mouse cursor to determine the Z height
+where the unit should be positioned. If you click and hold the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Left</span> <span class="pre">Mouse</span>
+<span class="pre">Button</span></code>, then move the mouse, Crown will place the unit at any XY location
+on the horizontal plane defined by the height where you first clicked. This
+lets you position objects precisely along a fixed elevation.</p>

+<h3>Local and World axis<a class="headerlink" href="#local-and-world-axis" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Normally, gizmo axes are aligned to the local coordinate system of the
+selected object. That makes transforms intuitive when you want to move,
+rotate, or scale an object relative to its own orientation. However, when an
+object is rotated inconveniently, local axes can make it difficult to perform
+edits that must align to the scene or the world origin.</p>
+<p>Switching to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">World</span> <span class="pre">Axis</span></code> mode forces all gizmos to align to the world
+coordinate system regardless of the selected object’s local transformations.</p>
+<p>Toggle axis mode using the Local/World Axis control in the toolbar:</p>

+<h2>Snapping<a class="headerlink" href="#snapping" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>By default Crown lets you position and rotate objects freely. When you require
+precision, enable grid and angle snapping to constrain transforms to fixed
+increments. Toggle snapping by clicking the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Snap</span> <span class="pre">To</span> <span class="pre">Grid</span></code> button on the
+toolbar:</p>
+<img alt="../_images/toolbar_snap_to_grid.svg" src="../_images/toolbar_snap_to_grid.svg" /><p>With snapping enabled, movement and rotation will snap to the configured grid
+size and snap angle. Hold <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Left</span> <span class="pre">Ctrl</span></code> while performing a transform to
+temporarily disable snapping and make a single free adjustment.</p>
+<p>Change the grid cell size or the snap angle with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Ctrl+G</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Ctrl+H</span></code>
+respectively. These shortcuts open dialogs where you can type exact numeric
+values for the grid spacing and angle increment:</p>

+<h3>Relative and Absolute snapping<a class="headerlink" href="#relative-and-absolute-snapping" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
+<p>Crown offers two snapping coordinate modes. In Relative Snapping mode the
+snapping grid origin is aligned to the origin of the object being
+transformed; this makes the grid move together with the object and is
+convenient for local adjustments.</p>
+<p>In Absolute Snapping mode the snapping grid is fixed at the world origin,
+which is useful for aligning multiple objects to a common global grid.</p>
+<p>Switch between the two modes using the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Relative</span> <span class="pre">Snap</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Absolute</span> <span class="pre">Snap</span></code>
