navigator preview window

i am wondering if there is a way to zoom in on the plan in the actual navigator preview window when working in the 3d window. If the plan is large-the image is so small in the nav window it's hard to manipulate the perspective arrow.

There is no way that I can see to zoom the preview, but you can enlarge it. This is where dual monitors can come in handy.

Scroll zoom.

Scroll zoom.


Doesn't work while in the 3D window (or does it on the PC side?) That is to say... 3D window open (Perspective view) Scroll zoom in the preview window.... doesn't make the preview image larger.

It would be a great feature for those of us who get lost while looking around/in a large model from the 3D perspective window.

Also..... if you could pan/zoom in the "perspective settings" window too.

Ah ... misunderstood! Sorry!

No, you cannot zoom in the preview window. But, if you ever get lost in perspective (happens to everybody), place the camera and target by Shift clicking and Alt clicking where you want it.
