I sent you a video to show you how super fast zoom is working with Apple's mouse.

Re: Pan tool in 3D and 2D view?
Hi Emmanuel,
thank you for the video, it helped me understand what was going on. I've releasead a new version of the plugin which should fix the bug. unfortunately I cannot test it by myself on a macOS, I hope it works. If you still experience problems you have 2 options:

help me debug the code;
turn off the exponential wheel using the new settings panel available under 3D view -> Pan 3D view settings menu.

I've also added an alternate way to pan for macOS, see below.

Summary of the changes:

Added ALT+left mouse button as an alternative to middle mouse button for panning (for macOS users)
Added the SHIFT key support to increase the speed of the scroll wheel in the 3D view
Improved exponential mouse wheel
Implemented a limit for the max distance when moving backward with the scroll wheel
Fixed the behavior in virtual visitor mode when custom mouse handlers wish to prevent camera rotation (1)
Added a preferences panel to:
- enable/disable exponential mouse wheel
- enable/disable select transparent walls with mouse

1) this change fixes the annoying bug occurring when moving points in virtual visitor mode for Wirings and 3D dimension lines plugins.

Re: Pan tool in 3D and 2D view?
Yes it does make sense, because for some reason the center that are supposed to be rotating around, is not in the center of the screen. I my case this rotation center too much on the right side of the screen

Re: Pan tool in 3D and 2D view?
New version released!

The version 3.1 allows to toggle object selection in 3D view using SHIFT key + left mouse button, so multiple objects can be selected directly from the 3D view.
This enhancement will help a lot with the automatic wiring feature that will be added to the Wirings plugin very soon.

Download from SourceForge or using the Plugin manager.

New version released
Version 3.2.1 (formerly 3.2b) adds the capability to modify openings and mannequin pose directly in the 3D view!

See it in action!

Re: Pan tool in 3D and 2D view?
PLEASE help.
I cannot work properly with that, so I need to deinstall, but HOW TO??

Windows 10 - SH3D 6.6a
Already tried a new installation of sh3d, but it is still the same behaviour, I cannot navigate in the 3D window as before (before installation of that "tool")

Re: Pan tool in 3D and 2D view?
I'm really sorry to hear that.

To unistall a plugin close SweetHome3D, go to "C:\Users\your_user_name\eTeks\Sweet Home 3D\plugins" and delete the plugin file.

If you wish to make it work maybe you could describe which behaviour you experience that prevent you from work.

Re: Pan tool in 3D and 2D view?
Oh, thanks a lot for your fast answer!

The behaviour is button. but using your tool drives me crazy, because if I click the right mouse button and push the mouse, it fine and I can use it - same as before.
But everytime when I click the left mousebutton and push the mouse only 0,5mm on my table, the 3D view is completely turned over and I need to use one of my saved camera-positions to be able to come back to the same view-point...

For me it would be fine, if left and right buttons could be changed ( but only for this pan-tool, not generally in windows)

But I guess itÂ´s on me, because no other has written such a "problem" ;-)
