Hi Nico,

I don't understand the request...ALT+mouse works great for me. I guess the only change I would like is cursor-centric zooming.

With all respect JDHill: But I am surprised, that you as a Rhino-user say so! Compared to the fantastic camera-manipulation-tools inside Rhino, I am finding the options in Studio clumsy and unintuitve. Of course, you can zoom/orbit and pan a camera with the mouse and hotkeys - but what, if you If I want to change: say the focal length?

This seems only possible to me by:
1. checking out, which camera is active
2. localizing it in the camera list and activating it
3. having the courage to click into an editor, with all options irritatingly greyed out (camera params) to activate it.
4. trying different numerical values (as there is no slider available)

Could that be any worse?

In Rhino, that is nearly as easy as with a physical camera, done with a couple of keyboard/mouse-combinations. See: http://en.wiki.mcneel.com/default.aspx/ ... ation.html

Bummer, that Studio doesn't at least recognize named views from Rhino.
If that was so, I could set up cameras in Rhino already.

This is very importan in case we need to move the whole model!
