Mouse-wheel for 3-D rotation work?

Please. This Would be very, very nice.

At the moment I'm either stretching and pulling the wire-frame OR using the Sliders to adjust. How easy would it be for me to be able to use the Mouse-wheel to do this tricky manoeuvre.

Please,

Thank you.

try to microsoft desktop elite pro kit with teh 'tilt" mouse..
ie got a KB and mouse, but i think u can get the mouse on its own

the scrollwheel tilts an can allocate it for whatev eru like

I use it on cmbusiton, after effects, photoshop (no need to scrol u see) and of course vegas with its 3d planes

works really well, but its not analogue, so u gotta be careful

What happens when you click on the X/Y/Z under Position/Orientation/Rotation (so the slider is showing) -- and then use the mouse wheel...

For me, the mouse wheel moves the slider in increments of 5. When I hold the CTL key, it moves in increments of 1

Me mouse wheel drives everything, volume sliders, Eq etc.
As said just a matter of having a quiet talk to your mouse,
now what I'd really like is a mouse with more programable buttons.

But Rotation of the 3-D Wire Frames? I can do Sliders and stuff.

I'd say it should only be implemented if it's more of a shift plus scroller or something like that. I like to use it to zoom in and out too.

well with teh MS optical, its gor teh standard buttons, and scrol button, it also has the left/right rocker (the wheel actaully rocks) as well as another 2 assignable buttons which i use for group and ungroup events

the wheel itself DOESNT have notches, but it has a velocity read, which the faster u spin, the faster it updates... it also has no limit on how fine u scroll... not good for games, but awesome for graphics work as u can literally scroll by the pixel...

You can do this in a way.

Click on the Rotation ANGLE or Orientatin Angle options so you get the slider.

The mouse wheel will rotate NOW in big jumps.

Hold the CTRL key down and the mouse will rotate in smaller jumps.

Not ideal, but it works.

I have a Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000 and it has Enable Program Specific Settings which lets you choose a program from the Browse window. I haven't tried it, but it looks promising. I've just been doing the 1-2 keyboard-mouse dance step, which works well for me.
