Hello,
Is there a way to define a precise "3d view pivot point", other than selecting an element and hit that reset button? The reset technique puts the pivot point somewhere inside that selection, which is a bit annoying if I want to rotate around something else than what is actually selected. I would definitely love to use mouse middle-button click to define that pivot point, regardless of what is selected (like Catia V5 for example).
Thanks

Hi Fred, you can set it with the "Area" zoom tool on the viewport bottom toolbar. For that you first pick a center point and then area size and the center point you pick will become the new rotation pivot point.

Perfect, I'll change my shortcut
Thanks for the quick reply

You're welcome Fred! Also you can paste in the following script for the "command" part of a shortcut key, this one will do one point pick and set that as the 3D view's rotation pivot point:

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 }

Absolutely perfect, this is exactly what I was hoping for!
Thanks a lot

One last question on that matter, is it possible to use the "mouse middle click" as the key for the shortcut?

Hi Fred,

Sorry no, there isn't currently any way to run a script on a mouse middle click.
