Question regarding perspective when selecting points using CutPlotter tool

[jkissi]

Hi Marco, hope you are well!
I have a quick question about zooming when I am using the plotter() object. It seems that when I try and zoom into my points in the plotter window, the closer I get to the points, the less I am able to zoom, until I cannot zoom any further. Problem is, that the point at which I cannot zoom any further is a very long way from the points, and the cutplotter I have built requires that you select points from within a created spline. This perspective difference can be a problem. The picture below shows as far as I can zoom and the yellow points indicate what has actually been selected. So, you can see how far away from the points the camera has stopped.

Can you think of a way to change the zoom behaviour so I can get closer? Or modify something so that all the points within the boundary are always selected, without correcting for perspective?

Once again, cheers Marco!!!

Hi J.
instead of zooming have you tried to set the camera position and focus explicitly (press "C" for a template)?
Are you using parallel or perspective projections (toggle by pressing "u")?
