Hi,

I am desperately looking for an option like the “F” hotkey in Maya. If you selected something in the viewport and want the viewport to focus on that object, is there any hotkey for doing so in Houdini?

Searching the help for “focus” got me a lot of results, but nothing useful.

it's space+shift+f by default (space is needed only if You are not in view mode), but You can change it in hotkey editor to be just F

To focus on a selected object it is “g”, or “Space-g” if you are not in view mode.
“Shift-F” does the equivalent.

actually space+g sets the camera to home view, just focuses the object, while space+shift+f does not rotate the camera

You can also use space+z, which will keep your camera position, and merely shift the interest point to the object under the mouse. It's kind of a “look here now” type command.

I think it's really cool to use, but it does have an issue that it doesn't respect the y-up tumbling mode and the camera rolls a bit when you use it. Hopefully this gets fixed sometime.

+1 for space+z
it's essential for getting into tight spots…

Thank you for your answers, it really helps me getting along with a new software.
