Zoom/Pan/Rotate in Preview Windows

I find myself wondering many times why there is no possibility to zoom into the object preview window, curtain wall schedule preview or handrail preview tool. It feels like another gimmick that lost track after its inception. Maybe pimping it up just a tad would turn it into something useful... 

 

Wouldn't it be great if you could actually preview what you are doing in that preview window?

@2D  I would also add that it would be great if rotating the 3D view in the preview window didn't actually rotate the object.

@NateLumen we de-coupled the rotation in the preview with actual object rotation quite a few versions ago based on user feedback. I don't remember exactly the version though.

@James B oh, great news. I stopped using it because it was changing my model. But now I know!
