[Chimera-users] Zoom problem?

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Damien,

  This happens when the Chimera Camera scale factor becomes enormous (like 1.0e30).  The focus command will reset this to 1 and fix the problem.  You can see the value in the Camera dialog (Tools / Viewing Controls / Camera).  The scale factor gets increased when you zoom in.   It works like a telescope zoom -- the field of view gets smaller but the camera doesn't get any closer to the molecule.  How does it get to such a huge value?  I recall seeing this bug using a Space Navigator input device.  It shouldn't happen and indicates some kind of Chimera bug.

	Tom
