Preset views

Is it just me or are the preset views for 3D (scene ribbon) the wrong way round?
When I look at the model from the top, then in my world front schould be the bottom of the screen.
But when I select front though, I look at it from the (former) top of the screen.
Same for left and right.
Sorry, it’s a bit confusing… :slight_smile:

Also, it is not possible to zoom when in parallel mode - is that an accident or a feature? :wink:

Shortcuts would be great too plus the possibility, to rotate away from the preset.
Oh, and a trackball would be nifty as well, so that it is possible to roll the view around the line of sight! :smiley:

Interesting, we should vote :slight_smile: or compare with other 3D software to find what is an unwritten standard here.

Hi martinb,

so it’s the way it is supposted to be. :slight_smile:

I got this orientation from CAD software (AutoCAD, GStarCAD, BricsCAD etc).
Thought it was the “normal” way, but there always seems to be another possibility… :wink:
Personally, I don’t mind much - just need to know which way is which.
