Weird orbiting point

Not sure how to explain this one. Normally most of the time, when orbiting it uses where you click your mouse as the reference point for what to orbit around. Here it seems to be swinging way far out, instead of orbiting like normal, almost like it’s orbiting on a different point, or orbiting around the project center almost?

Thanks Barry.  Larger distance between brain and typing fingers the older I get.  Brain somewhere off in space these days 😂

Speaking about space, @ethanbodnar, have you ever tried using a 3D Connexions space mouse for 3D navigation and orbit ? I do and they are very helpful to use.

 

Please watch this video demonstration by John from Contrabim on how smooth the space mouse work flow is.
