You can always switch views, I do most of my placing in >>the top view first, then right and front (or whatever is >>easier) to get the right height. >How do you zoom in when you are in the top, or side >viewports? UVDan. You can still use the + - and hand controls. This zooms the View, not the Camera. My issue here (and I have been to Support about this but not yet had an answer) is that I find selecting stuff, especially teh Camera, unreliable in any but the Director's View.
