    Announcing version 2. This one should not interfere with any tools. The way this works is it suppresses existing mouse wheel messages with deltas of 120 and in turn sends multiple subsequent mouse wheel messages with smaller deltas, yielding smoother transition effects. Let me know if this works, so that I can decide how to proceed with this. Options to adjust zoom intensity will be added soon. Thanks!

    By the way, this is still Windows only, for now (SU6-SU2021). I only tested this with SU2020 and SU2021 though. Also, AMS Library is not longer needed for this, so this is an independent plugin.

        Hello. Thank you very much for the useful plugin. It is very convenient.
        After the update, the option menu disappeared. Please return it to adjust the speed. Thank you very much! 👍

          Hey Anton, thank you so much for the update! For me personally I utilize this plugin in order prevent having to scroll a lot to get in and out of my models. I'm not necessarily particular about how smooth the zooming is. I just do a lot of large scale models, mainly floor plans for schools and office buildings and to get in and change a wall I have to scroll in a lot. I got around it temporarily by changing my Logitech mouse to treat one scroll wheel movement as 3 which was ok except when I had to use the save or open dialog box to scroll through files lol.

          Again thank you so much for continuing to offer this capability. I can't wait until you add back the dialog to set the scroll distance as this helps so much.

              Announcing 2.1. This version allows adjusting single-notch duration and frequency.

                  Dear Anton_S, I have been using your plugin for a very long time, it greatly facilitates daily work in SU.
                  I personally express my point of view, but your plugin, up to version <2.0, was more convenient for me. Scrolling was smoother and easier to work with. Going back to the old version of Smooth Zoom again....

                      Hi.
                      Now I have version 1.3.0a installed with settings:
                      Intenstity 0.8
                      Transition Time 1.25
                      Update FPS 60
                      And it is very convenient for me to use. Smooth camera movement, which I can stop at any time, and this is very convenient)
                      With these settings it sometimes slows down, but only when my SU model is filled with models with a lot of polygons.
                      I installed version 2.0, the movement of the camera did not suit me, and I could not change the characteristics of the camera in the menu. I had to return the old version 1.3.0a.
                      2.1 also did not suit me.
                      Once again, this is just my opinion))) For some, version 2.1 is more suitable)))

                        Hi, Anton
                        Thanks for updating this plugin.
                        can we adjust zoom in/out speed like the layout?
                        I'm using mouse 4th and 5th buttons as a scroll to zoom in and out in SketchUp but using with buttons zoom in/out speed is very fast and windows scroll speed settings are not applied in SketchUp viewport.
                        it would be great if I can decrease speed with your Plugins. I want very slow
                        Thanks

                          Hey. How do you zoom in/out with 4th and 5th buttons? What are these buttons you are referring to? For me, I can only zoom with the mouse wheel.

                            Anton thank you so much for your response, Actually, with the help of X-Mouse Button Control software or Logitech software, I can use these buttons as a wheel up and down. Right now it's helping but speed is a bit fast. and there is no any way to control the speed.
                            Thanks again

                              I tried out the X-Mouse Button Control tool. At the moment the only way you can decrease the zoom speed is by decreasing the Duration to 50ms. See attached image. Go to (Extebsion)>SmoothZoom>Options

                              The downside of changing the Duration to 50ms is that the normal mouse wheel will no longer be as smooth.

                                Hello. I've been using this plugin for several years now and really like it. I use version 1.3. For me, it is more convenient and I don’t want to switch to an earlier version, it doesn’t suit me.
                                Version 1.3 has difficulty compatability with FredoSketch. When holding down the Ctrl button (in FredoSketch), it is not possible to make a soft selection ((
                                Is it difficult for you to tweak version 1.3 for me to work well with FredoSketch?
                                Thank you very much.

                                  The problem with smooth zoom is its uniformity. For example, if I'm located 900m from the building I'm modeling duration 400 is perfect - one hair scroll and I'm in the right place. But if I need to zoom in in finer manner to refine the handle on the entrance door duration 400 is too addressee, 100 is better value. Maybe scrolling with some modifier key (if it'd exist) would help?

                                    Anton, with the latest version I have model jumping like rabbit while scrolling for zoom in. It happens on the 2nd (left) monitor, the situation on the main one (right) is better. 😕

                                      Hi Anton!
                                      In older versions, the flight stopped when the wheel was pressed. Now there is no stopping. I've been using this for a few years now and I'm very used to it. At settings around 600ms, this gave precise and smooth control. 😢
