Hi Metin,

So are you set for orbit and zoom right now? Or do you need the zoom to be a left/right motion instead of up/down?

Right now Alt+RMB is set up as another way to do zoom, for Maya compatibility. If you remind me about this once v4 betas are going, I can put in an option for Alt+RMB to do pan instead of zoom.

Also you mentioned reversing - which thing is it that you need reversed?

That's because a plain RMB is set up for orbiting the 3D view, but the orthographic views don't do orbiting. But instead of just doing nothing for RMB in an ortho view it's an additional way to do pan. I don't think I've ever seen a quad view in ZBrush, they probably don't have the same concept as a dedicated 2D view as in MoI?

Hmmm, that's interesting but it sounds probably a little too fancy to set up in MoI. I guess if I were to do it I'd probably think about it slightly different, like "tap" the ctrl key (press it and then release it) would make the next plain RMB drag following it to do pan while holding down ctrl + RMB doing zoom.
