Scroll Wheel Zooming

I was wondering if it's possible (maybe via a config file or something) to change the way zooming is done with the scroll wheel? At the moment scrolling forward zooms out and scrolling backwards zooms in - I would like to have this reversed to match nearly every other graphic app I use including Photoshop.

Related to this request is the capacity to remap/reassign keyboard shortcuts as well as mouse button functionallity for panning, zooming and rotating the view camera.

Speaking of views: I would also like to see the option to create/save my own layouts - in particular I am used to having the perspective view at the top left instead of top right in 3d apps.

For version 9.5 we have added an option to reverse the scroll wheel direction.

Remapping keyboard shortcuts will likely be coming soon.

If you click on the model window name (Top, Right, Perspective, etc..) you will see a list of views available. So you can swap the top windows to your preference. You can also choose some alternative layouts by clicking on the 'View' tab and select 'Layouts'.

Hope that helps.

Ok, nice - but now that I have the layout the way I want, how do I make it the default or even save it?

If you pick one of the preset layouts that will be remembered as your default. Unfortunately if you create your own custom layout it is not yet possible to set it as your default. I will add it to our development list. Thanks again for the suggestions.
