Title: Advance Focus on View Zooming
Post by: steve on February 21, 2014, 12:56:18 pm

Hi IStonia,

In update Feb-21, you added "* View > Advance Focus Point On View Zooming."

The option in the "View" menu will not deselect, there is a need to go to the toggle in the "View Navigation Tools".

I also need to ask what is that implementation. From its name, I would expect that the zoom would advance(move forward) the focus point, so that zooming continues and does not stop at set focus point. But if option is on or off, there is no difference.
Could you please explain its function?

Thanks.

I gave it a quick fix. You can redownload the file.

It is "Toggle Advance Focus Point On Orthographic View Zooming". This option maintains the distance between camera and focus point unchange on orthographic view zooming. Otherwise objects beyond the focusing point may disappear when zoom in.

Hi IStonia,

This option(when disabled) does not save between sessions.

That does not actually make sense to me, considering the description of the clipping planes and my findings. I could put forward some examples, but I am concerned you may add more options to get around the issues. So I will leave that.
