Commandline Prompt for Zoom Level via Scale Size #233

Closed wein3967 closed 8 years ago

wein3967 commented 8 years ago

It would be helpful to be able to specify the zoom level by using the command prompt to specify the size, in feet, of the displayed scale bar. For example, if I want to make an older image where the scale bar was 570 ft long, I could type ZoomScale (zm) and 570, and FACET would determine the camera zoom necessary to make the scale bar display 570 ft.

Using a middle mouse button press and moving the mouse vertically allows you to change zoom in a continuous manner. It is pretty easy to then get the scale bar to the desired dimension.

Awesome. I did not know that. Thanks.
