I'm having a hard time getting used to moving in 3D. When I scroll in to zoom, I have to hold down the right mouse button to keep the model from moving out of view. Is that normal behavior? Also, zooming with the scroll wheel is very slow. I've got my system options set to "run" and highest speed of 20. I noticed that holding down the alt key when I scroll does not speed it up at all.
Moving in 3D seems really awkward compared to other software (like Sketchup) where you don't have to think about it much at all. Maybe if I understand better what's going on, I can get used to it.
For the 3d speed, would a different mouse help? I just have a basic MS compliant mouse (I'm on Windows 10). I see some users are using a 3dConnexion mouse. Forgetting about the price of that for a moment, would that be likely to solve the zoom speed issue? Would a cheaper mouse but one with custom software help?
I've scoured the forums and didn't really see an answer to the speed issue. (Although I can't download some of the screen shots that were posted there.) I saw that you can use the up/down keys to zoom in much faster. But with the model moving out of view when I do that, it doesn't work for me, not to mention that the mouse and the up/down areas are on the same side of the keyboard making this quite awkward.
Any advice would be appreciated. I'd like to be able to present this software to my team and bosses without having to mention this as a major issue.
Thank you.
