Hello, when i use the mesh editor and put it in an ortho view i can only zoom to 10 cm, is there a way to bypass that limit? Thank you.
I would like to know as well as currently max ortho zoom factor is hard coded like this:
#define MIN_ORTHOZOOM 250.0 /* Limit of 2D viewport zoom in */
So there is probably no way how to modify this without doing engine recompileā¦ This is very lame. Same with editor default grid, which is most elementary thing in engine to customizeā¦ Hope they fix this in a way it is externally accessible either via setting or consoleā¦ For 4.15 and 4.16 this is not user select option. I do have small items as well and this is extremely anoing to not be able to zoom in enough. @Epic please fix this ASAP it is really anoing and impractical.
To change that limit edit that number to your liking. I changed mine to 25.0, rebuild engine and my problem is now fixed. I can zoom in to 1cm now 
Thanks for the answer it would be nice to have that in the engine settings !
Just checked in 4.22.3 and things are still the same. I modded engine so now this is made public in editor settings viewport preferences (Advanced Display option). I think Iāll submit pull request as this is annoying thing and quite common question. Need to test it more so Iām sure I didnāt break anything.
Sounds good
for future seekers:
Editor preferences: Viewports - Minimum Orthographic Zoom (default 250; set to e.g. 10)
