Using the Nav panel takes practice is all. You can rotate around an object or specific area by a combination of Sliding and Looking together. For instance Sliding by 20 or so one way then Looking back the opposite way by 10, you will see the object move across the screen and slightly rotate on the Slide(or Look) then looking(or sliding) back the opposite direction will move the Object back to the center of the FOV and Rotate a bit more. You may need to do this a few times(or more than a few) to vet the view you want. Te ammount to Look or Slide is dependent on a lot of things, amount of Zoom you're at, FoVy, DE Stop, where you are on x,y,z. You can also use the Rotations on the Main Panel to rotate the Image itself around the Center point of the image view,  I use this a lot at the beginning for getting a Whole Box view for instance positiond before Zooming and again for very fine rotations as the main panel will take Fractional degrees of rotations where the Nav will not on Sliding.

It just takes practice, play around in Nav long enough and it becomes second nature like driving a car.

Remember...No matter where you go there you are
