I’m not sure what I’m missing here, but I cannot figure out how to pan around the screen in the Windows version of Shapr3d. I see it done in the tutorials, but no one has said, “hold down the X key” or right click, but when I zoom in on an object and then zoom back out, how do I move my object or art to the middle of the screen? I’m sure it’s very simple, but the simplicity is avoiding me.
Thanks for your help. ( I’ve been using Shapr3d for about 10 months, getting by with zooming out and re-zooming on the area I want to have centered.)

Thank you @Laci_K ! I knew it would be painfully obvious. I appreciate your quick response. Even more painfully, I know I’ve used it before. “Navigation”! That’s the word I needed to come up with.
