      hey! the MMB double click works for me. 😍

      oops i guess you made me find an SK feature thats already in place. if i MMB double click SK centers on that point (i didn't know that before now 😄 )and since SK orbit the center of the screen anyway; please explain the purpose of your plugin?

        Make a simple cube. Center it (using the double-click you mention) targeting any specific point over the cube and Orbit.

        You will find it will not always orbit around that expected point.

        The OrbitOnTarget plugin makes it orbit on the selected point (and by the way, the selection is made using the Inference Engine).

        Regards
        Marcio

          Thanks Marcio for developing the plugin. I'm finding your approach to the controls very good. I have the feeling they will become very intuitive for me with a bit more use. I'm happy.

          Regards, Ross

              O.K, thanks for the explaination, even if i never use your script thank you for making me discover the MMB function of SK without you i would have never discovered that which is a very valuable function. 😉

                I really wish this worked on a Mac. The Double Click feature is all that works nothing else.

                    hey once you've define the target, can you say for example rotate exactly 180degrees around it?

                          @caddia, The author hasn't visited Sketchucation in more than six years. It's likely that he's no longer supporting this plugin. Might be a good idea to look for an alternative.

                            quick off-the-cuff alternatives you might want to look into, there may be more:

                            Camera Tools
                            Curic Spin Camera
                            Animate Rotation
                            Camera Circle
                            Camera Spiral

                            Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.
