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.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Tom</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Feb 3, 2014, at 7:29 AM, Damien Larivière wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">

Dear all,<br>
<br>
I try to zoom in the scene, to get very close to my model shown here
below. I cannot be closer than in the image below, the zooming
function is at its maximum. When zooming, I get the error message :
<i>refocus to continue scaling</i><br>
<br>
I do not know whether it is a bug or something I'm doing wrong.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help,<br>
<br>
Damien<br>
