<p style="">I am using S3D regularly, and developed a USB user interface that allows me to adjust S3D parameters such as focal plane using a contour express dial.<br>
</p>
<p style=""><br>

<p style="">I have stopped using scale factor by disabling the keyboard scroll, and switching to z translation.<br>

<p style=""><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">I am finding that I need to adjust the focal plane a lot.</span> Usually it is between the clipping planes, but when I do
z translations it normally gets between the camera and the near clipping plane, or out past the far clipping plane.<br>

<p style="">For S3D animations I can work around it. For interactive use, people are having major eye strain. <br>
</p>
<p style=""><br>
</p>
<p style="">I would like to modify the chimera code to automatically adjust the focal plane as the clipping planes change.<br>
</p>
<p style=""><br>
</p>
<p style="">Can you point me to the area of code where I could make the change?<br>
