Built for Blueprints graphs

• Use your touchpad instead of a mouse on your laptop.

• Works in Blueprint, Material, and Niagara graphs.

• Simple pan to move and pinch to zoom, with optional Ctrl plus pan for zooming.

• Adjustable settings for sensitivity and inversion.

Natural Canvas Movement

Trackpad navigation that feels native

On supported graph surfaces, scrolling can be used to move around the graph more directly, while keeping Ctrl plus scroll available as a clear zoom gesture.

User Control

Users can enable or disable graph categories, control pan and zoom sensitivity, invert directions, enable experimental horizontal pan, and turn on debug logging when diagnosing behavior.

Panning

On supported graph canvases, TouchUE can use scroll input to move the graph instead of leaving navigation entirely to default mouse-wheel behavior. In practice, that means vertical scrolling can move the graph up and down, and horizontal trackpad movement can move sideways when that input path is available and enabled.

Zooming

Pinch to zoom, or Ctrl + scroll to zoom*

*If using VPN/Remote desktop we recommend turning on only allow zoom with ctrl
