Steve003 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Hi, Having clicked solve, I need to add some more markers as despite the photo being of the vehicle I have modelled, it didnt match up well at all, ( it did fairly well on another photo) so needs another marker on the far side, though I dont have much choice on what to pick, however, even trying to do so, I am then unable to zoom into model, before 'solve' I could zoom with ease well into it to place markers, now I am scrolling away on mouse wheel and making no progress on zoom at all .

Tech Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hi Steve, Zooming with the Scroll wheel works relative to the current view parameters, and how far it zooms is determined by the length of the line of site (which is the distance between the eye point and the center of interest for the active view -- whose values you can see in the View Parameters Palette). If you set the Center of Interest on or near the desired zoom location, then this can make zooming into that part easier. One way to do this is to use the Fit command -- and if you pick any objects and execute the (Command F) key shortcut, the picked objects will be fit -- and the center of interest will automatically be centered these objects. You can also try setting a smaller zoom in by percentage (closer to 100%) to reduce the zoom speed if you like.When simply zooming with the Scroll wheel alone, the eye point is moved closer and closer to the center of interest, and the percentage for this movement is controlled by the Zoom Options (palette): Zoom In By value. Thus, as you get closer and closer to the center of interest, you will notice that the zooming gets slower and slower. When this happens, zoom back out a bit until the zoom speed is moving you a reasonable amount. Then, hold down the Alt and try scrolling back in again. This will then move the entire camera forwards, and the rate of zooming (also controlled by the Zoom In value) will be constant (since the distance between the eye point and center of interest is not changing). The same is true when using Set View and the Center of Interest. Note that there are many different ways of viewing with the Interactive View Navigation, and you can see (and customize) these key shortcuts via the Edit Menu: Key Shortcuts: Interactive View Navigation (3/4 the way to the bottom).Does that help?

Steve003 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Hi, Not working for me at all. I have opened the saved MatchView project, scroll wheel is making hardly any zoom. I scroll outwards many rolls of wheel, gradually I am zooming out, hold alt down and scroll in and no change at all. with a door panel selected, I hit space bar and type fit as I dont see a command line to type into, as Rhino has, it makes model fit the entire screen but zoom is no better. I like the normal zoom amount so dont want to medle with that, its just that as soon as one has saved a project, or opened it again, the zoom does this. I hit space bar and type zoom and see a dialog box top right, zoom out 75%, in was 133.3333 I alter this to zoomout 50 and zoom is a bit better, eventually try with 10 and now zooming out is happening for me , but zoom in says 1000 if zoom in is 10 and is hopeless, no zoom at all, I alter zoom in to 10 and it jumps to 1000 again. I cant zoom in. I reset them to 133.3333 and 75 in/out respectively and back to this inability to zoom much at all, so unable to use MatchView once project saved.

Steve003 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Hi, I just created a simple cube with sphere at top and cone at front, to do this, it behaves, I can zoom it after it is saved etc ! yet my serious project wont do that. I am not able to upload here the serious project as that would allow all users access to material which has great value. stumped. I then open the project again, to do a video capture, and the darn thing will zoom, !!!! yet I have experienced this inability to zoom a few times now in different projects. bemused .
