Ah. That explains it. How about only when the command is initiated? Hovering alone wouldn't be enough. Would that limit the abrupt view shift only to the Moment of Initiation? Or...can the box or reset have the ability to simply center an object in question (selected/hovered?) without zooming in or out?

Hi halmi,

re:

I guess so, it sounds pretty weird though.

You can try setting this up on a keyboard shortcut, it will set the pivot point to a point you pick without doing an area window:

script: /* Set 3D view rotation pivot */ var p = moi.ui.createPointPicker(); if ( p.waitForEvent() && p.event == 'finished' ) { moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D').targetpt = p.pt }

Thank you so much - I'll check it out, and you may be right...
...and I like it. I tap the shortcut key and click the location, There's a shift, but it's not a huge leap, and I (camera) am still pretty much where I was. I also just I took a dive back into my expired trial of Rhino to see how it was done there. They have a button called "place." Guess what it does? That's right! Except the shortcut is faster (and seems to perform more consistently) in MoI.
