Zoom Functionality for Apple Magic Mouse

[chisholm_gavinl]

Hey Fusion, built-in zoom navigation functionality would be an incredibly helpful feature to add for Apple users with a Magic Mouse. Can this be expected anytime soon, or is there a workaround?

Another user here in need of this feature. The trackpad surface on the magic mouse is very useful for other applications, but I have to switch to a second mouse with a wheel when using fusion.

I also use a 3dConnexion space mouse but would still benefit from the magic mouse to have built in zoom.

Un check gesture based view navigation under general preferences

@Mattbakkerthat does not solve the issue.

Gesture based view navigation un-checked

- Drag on magic mouse = Zoom

- Orbit is not possible with mouse

- Pan is not possible with mouse

Gesture based view navigation checked

- Drag on magic mouse = Pan

- Drag on magic mouse + Shift = Orbit

- Zoom is not possible with mouse - Ideally this would be Drag on magic mouse + Command = Zoom

Autodesk team:

PLEASE PLEASE make an update to allow for a zoom shortcut with magic mouse/trackpad such as the following:

- Drag on magic mouse + Command = Zoom

Also hire me to join your UX team. I am a big fusion fan but see people around me choosing other options because of the poor usability that you can fix with the right help.

Just got a new Mac mini M4 Pro and set it up today and it worked for me

As stated in my previous post, zoom works with gesture based view navigation un-checked, but this disables all other functionality for viewport navigation.

Solving one issue only to cause another is not a solution. We need zoom, pan, and orbit controls to all work with the magic mouse under the same settings.

This issue persists. Autodesk team, please help us address.

Ok i understand

Thanks

CMD + (Swipe Left/Right) will zoom in/out.

This is with Gesture Based Navigation checked

[tyfyb]

Interesting. It works but very laggy when going between orbit and zoom. It's also not the typical zoom interaction you see on other software. This would ideally be updated to the unused CMD + (swipe up/down) for zoom which is more in line with other software. Can't think if a single 3d product that uses left/right for zoom so why do it here?
