Are you in isometric view. If so try switching to perspective. Another thing that can muck it up is if you have a very large element selected. It seems to orbit around the current selection's center of gravity. I have also found it can get a little clumsy when zoomed in very closely on a very large model. In this case marquee just the area you want to work on (this also speeds things up considerably).

The model is not orbited around a selected element. <BR /> Is it a known bug or is there any switch to fix it?
