Use the control for the scene you are in
Camera movement and garment editing share screen space, but their controls have different jobs. If an accessory moves when you wanted to move the view, stop editing and read the hints at the bottom of that scene. Build 443 changed several interactions, so a September video may show a different gesture.
| Task | Build 443 input or feature |
|---|---|
| Zoom mannequin view | Hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel |
| Pan mannequin view | Hold right click and drag |
| Orbit mannequin view | Keyboard controls added; read the current on-screen key hints |
| Pan cutting room | Drag to pan, or use the mouse wheel while scissors are selected |
| Adjust sizing-room gears | Mouse wheel or arrow keys |
| Move an accessory precisely | Movement buttons in the accessory rotation gizmo |
Frame the work before editing it
- Locate the garment area at a wider zoom level.
- Pan until the target is easy to inspect.
- Zoom closer and make one adjustment.
- Orbit to check whether the item floats or clips.
- Zoom out to judge the placement against the whole outfit.
That sequence is a suggested working habit, not a required game objective. It is especially useful for bows, cuffs and small trims that can appear correctly placed from only one viewpoint.
Use the accessory's own frame for difficult rotations
The October update adds movement buttons to the accessory rotation gizmo. Holding Control changes its rotation frame from the mannequin's to the accessory's. If a tilted item turns in an unexpected direction, compare these frames before repeatedly dragging it. Read the control hints in context: Ctrl plus the wheel controls camera zoom, while Ctrl used with the gizmo changes the rotation frame.
Reduce motion and visual distractions
Less Animation disables scrolling textures and zoom in the sewing scene and cutting room. The update also provides an option to disable the red outline, a bloom option, and a reduced photo-scene camera flash. These are individual settings; the announcement does not describe a single preset that disables every visual effect.
If selecting an accessory seems to hide other pins, that is an intentional Build 443 change. Selecting one accessory hides pins belonging to other accessories to reduce clutter.
Controller and rebinding limits
The developers list full rebinding and gamepad controls, including Steam Deck controls, as priorities in the October announcement. That statement is a plan, not confirmation of shipped support. For a build newer than 443, check its settings and newer developer notes before using this table as a complete control reference.
