With the 4D navigation tool, you simultaneously navigate in the point cloud (space) and to the best frame (time) for a static object. 

This tool is only available in the 3D view and is only recommended for non-moving objects.

### Additonal shortcuts

- Holding down `Shift` and using `SCROLL` will change the tool radius.
- The tool will by default navigate you to the points within the *Field of View* of the  selected camera. But, by holding `Shift` while clicking in the point cloud the tool will check all frames (outside FoV) regardless of the current camera source.
