While using texture stencils, I have trouble navigating to the right spot and angle on the mesh. Is there a tutorial on this sort of navigation around the mesh. Essentially I want to feel like I'm floating around the object keeping the same distance from it. I'm sure there must be settings for this, but I have yet to find the magic combination.
OK, I found the answer myself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCkHNxOf9lE The basic thing I needed to know was to use the . key on the num pad to center the rotation around the object selected.
