Hi could anyone tell me if there is a way to change the zoom speed of the mouse scroll wheel (so that i can zoom in bigger increments)?


I am refering to Workspace side BTW


It appears that on a large scene, my zooming rate is tediously slow and becoming difficult to navigate?


Regards, J

You can change the wheel sensitivity but that is a setting not exposed with a direct button yet but accesable via LE (like any settings).


- Open a Scene view window

- go to Widgets/Tools

- and right click at Background

- now choose "Browse in LE"

- depending where you want a faster zoom, in Ortho or Perspective view you access these bricks

- in the Perspective Bridge below the "Background Widget Controller" is the "Linear Move Action" and here the setting "Wheel sensitivity"

- if you change that setting to a higher value like -2 your zoom will act faster

- important is just that you keep the negative value or your mouse wheel will react the other way

I ended up writing a simple script so I wouldn't have to go through all that again and again just to change the scroll speed.
