Mouse Wheel Zoom Direction?

[stoneattic]

I’m a completely new user to SimScale. I’ve been going through the tutorials, searching the forum, etc., but have not found out if there is a way to reverse the default zoom behavior of the mouse wheel. After 20+ years of zooming in when I roll the mouse wheel forward I don’t really want to change. Teaching an old dog a new trick, etc.

Hi @stoneattic and welcome SimScale,

unfortunately there is currently no way to change the mouse controls on SimScale but based on popular request, we’re working on it! To help us prioritize further, you can add your votes for different features / enhancements over here:

The request for improved 3D navigation is here:

Improve 3D navigation

I really struggle to get the view I want in SimScale, if I view in say the x+ view I might not be viewing in the orientation I want. A more 3D cad approach would not only make my life easier but it would make the experience of switching between CAD and SimScale more intuitive. This is a screen grab of what I have in mind from OnShape: [image] I’m not suggesting that I need all the features but it would make selecting a view and orientation easier. I think I mentioned this in an older post but …

Best,

David

Hi @stoneattic,

these are my observations when using SimScale on a laptop without a mouse.
Ctrl + left / right click + drag = pan
Left click + drag = rotate
Right click + drag = zoom

Hope this helps
