Quote - @ FranOnTheEdge: The scene rotation via the mouse is something I've already posted to DAZ about. I'm spoiled how Solidworks makes use of the mouse and mouse wheel to navigate/zoom/rotate. It's the simplest CAD package I've ever used, and I've used several, beginning with AutoCAD since version 3. The Solidworks style is similar to the CB Modeler Pro.. not identical, but similar. Wings was similar when I tested it out, but Solidworks was still more easy to use. I really think the solidworks corporation ppl really mustive spent a lot of time in Human to computer interface (HCI) research or something when doing their GUI.

But anyway, I had brought that up to DAZ and I hope we'll see something. Personally I doubt it though because, and I'm not a Mac person, so I'm not sure how accurate I can say this, but I don't think the mouse wheel is a prominant/common feature for the Mac... So probably anything to do with the mouse wheel might not be implimented. But still, dragging the mouse around for navigation could be done.

I don't know. I have a four-button scroll mouse on one computer, and a three-button scroll mouse attached to my laptop. When I go back to Bryce after working with Wings3D for a while, I keep trying to rotate the camera with my mouse. Kind of frustrating that. I still want to slap Steve Jobs with a wet fish every time I see a one-button no-scroll mouse. The wizards at Cupertino do some great things, but that had to be drug-inspired.
