now do you move the preview down the screen on a windows laptop with no mouse?

[RetroRocket 0]

When i load cura or creality the preview image has the bottom of the tray at the middle of the screen and so it cuts off the top of the preview.  ive tried all views, no luck.  i have a windows laptop but no mouse.  any thoughts?

You have a track pad?

 

I think your only option is zoom in/zoom out which is + and - keys.  "=" key also works as zoom out.  You might have to click once on the preview area.

 

What you want it usually called "pan".  with a mouse, to pan you click and drag middle mouse button OR you shift click and drag right mosue button.

 

ALSO!

 

Some windows track pads allow you to do right click drag.  To left click drag you tap twice but on the second tap you start dragging.  But for right click dragging you do the same thing but with 2 fingers.  Do that with also the shift key down and pan might work.  You probably have to enable "gestures" in windows before this works.  Search for "gestures" after clicking the windows key.

 

Also you can "orbit" with the arrow keys.  You probably already discovered this.

 

Also with CTRL/+ and - you can go up and down the layers to see each layer.

Some trackpads also allow you to do click and drag gestures by holding down in the bottom left or bottom right corner (depending on which button you want) and moving another finger across the pad.
