    Zooming in on Overview

    On my Home Designer Suite 6.0, I could zoom in real close using my wheel on the mouse in the overview mode. With 7.0 the zooming in is limited and doesn't give you a real close up view. I used this to change colors or floor tiles in rooms. I think I'm sorry I got the 7.0. Perhaps it's something that the engineers could fix with a patch??? Any suggestions??? Am I doing something wrong??

    The mouse wheel zoom only seems to work within a certain range. Then the "I" key or the "F" key may work until the mouse works again later, sometimes.

    The mouse wheel changes the field of view which can cause your view to look distorted so I almost never use it.

    I usually use "i" and "o" for "in" and "out".

    Or I use "f", "b", "l", and "r" for forward, backward, left and right but these tools are not avaialable in the overviews, only in the regular camera views.
