I still find it hard to believe that one cannot increase the rate that the model zooms by when scrolling the mouse wheel.

Even with humble old TurboCAD  you could specify the rate of zoom per scroll wheel increment - say 1.5 or 2 or 3 as per user preference.

I find it very tedious the amount I have to scroll to look and navigate around models.

Am I missing something?

Anything else I should be trying / other methods that you use?

Catch ya later
