Mouse wheel sensitivity when zooming

Unity Engine
1

One of the things I dislike the most about Unity is how overly sensitive the mouse wheel zoom is in the editor. I select and object, hit F to give it the focus, and even the slightest movement of the scroll wheel makes a fairly large change in zoom. Why doesn’t unity let us hold the shift key down to enable more fine-tuned adjustments when zooming? It seems like such an obvious thing. Does anyone else have this issue?

Same problem here.

Never used “F”. I find the double clicking object in scene tree does a good job of centering camera on the object and adjusting zoom sensitivity.

I still find this an issue, also after pressing F or double licking the tree. I am working with objects that are 0.01 unit in size (which equals 1 cm, since unity units are meters) and there’s just no way to zoom in a bit on them…

We are almost 2 years later. Do you know if Unity solved this issue?

Thanks!

I dont know of a fix for the actual mouse wheel, but you can hold Alt and drag with the right mouse button for finer zoom in and out control

Zoom with the mouse wheel - and the inability to adjust it is an absolutely stressful thing. Using the right button is not the solution - if you use a quality game sensitive mouse, when you press the wheel (as the middle button (for Panning)) sometimes it jumps by one tooth - and you lose your nerve, because you need to do it quickly and accurately - instead you keep stressing that the wheel doesn’t turn around by one tooth …
Please add a mouse wheel coefficient to the settings, such as 3DS MAX! We try to use Unity in the interior of the car, so 1 meter of movement is a huge jump.

No no, unity becomes better and better. This is small thing. I recently had to start learning unreal, so I value unity more and more.
