How to zoom in closer in Static Mesh window without clipping?

Thanks for those 2 options. I googled before, but setting Near Clip Plane to 0 or -100 or anything, changes nothing (was 10)???

And

That works great. But how to keep it zoomed in? (Thats what I need to keep the window zoomed while working on a Material on the other monitor.)
When I release the Mouse, it auto returns.
