Right-click + WASD not working in scene view

I'm just starting with Unity (Mac version). When I first opened it, there was a sample game, AngryBots open. I was able to navigate through the scene by holding right-click and using the WASD keys.

After creating a new project to try some tutorials, this no longer works. A and D work for sideways movement, but not W and S for forward and back. However, if I hold W or S down for a few seconds, the near or far clip plane slides through my scene and hides/shows everything from view.

I tried creating another new project and still have the same problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

 

My thought is that there must be some simple toggle that I hit and can't find any more. Does anyone know about this? Thanks.

 

Finally figured it out. I was in ortho mode. Worked fine after switching back to perspective (by clicking the cube in the axis gizmo in the upper-right corner).

 

Thank you for posting your resolution! I clicked this by accident too and had no idea what was going on.

 

Thank you!

 

Thank you!!

 

Thanks! This really helped me out.. Thought I was going crazy there for a minute !

 

Omg, awesome, thanks!

 

Thanks for answering, I worked in ortho mode for a day and didn't know how I had switched it.

 

yup. that fixed it. thanks.

 

OH YES. I needed this solution thanks

 

Thanks for the solution, really saved my time!

 

Still doesn't work (Linux, Unity 2020.1.17f1)

 

Thank you thank you thank you.. got stuck on that a couple times now *chuckles*

 

Same thing happenned with me also, I was going out of temper, then I saw this post, this really helped

 

I had the same problem. My Fix: When holding right button, increase the speed of the camera by mouse wheel.

 

Thanks a lot m8! : ) That is the solution for my problem.

 

@umutaan50
Wow!!!!! THAT IS IT !!!! Man, I don't know how many hours I spent trying to figure that out. Thank you so very much for your post. Scrolled the camera speed with my mouse wheel and... BOOOM it worked again!

 

I was stuck on this for almost 20 minutes and not even the Unity guide tutorial on youtube mentioned this feature of the fly through mode. Thank you very much. Should've immediately checked for the manual on scene view from the website.

 

This was it!! Thank you! It was driving me nuts!

 

Thanks for the solution

 

you save my time.thank you bro

 

Dude... YEARS later you saved me some headache. Thanks!

 

Yes we were at ortho view level in the scene panel . when we changed it to perspective it worked wonders !!!
Thank you! man

 

Had same problem, but i had "Camera speed" set to 0,01. Changed that and it started to work again.
Camera speed can be found at top right corner in #Scene
