You’re likely familiar with hotkeys like “S” to pop up your shortcut bar, and you don’t need to be an engineer to live and die by the power of “Ctrl + Z” to undo mistakes made at 3 a.m., fueled by energy drinks and ramen. But do you know how to force a rebuild or view your design from different angles at the touch of a button?
