I would love to have the ability to scale my viewports non proportionally in either the ‘X’ or ‘Y’ (screen space) axis when the viewport is set to parallel. [Scaled viewport wish] At the moment I’m using a Pascal-script in Rhino7 but would love to have this integrated into normal Rhino. I’m also…

I see… how could I make a one-click button to toggle between normal and interactively stretching the view X/Y?

Hej - [image] Lagom: how could I make a one-click button to toggle between normal and interactively stretching the view X/Y? You can’t toggle between display modes; you’d possibly need a script for such. You can assign a custom display mode to a button, though. I don’t know if there are but…

I’ve been fiddling with this idea for a bit. How about this, it would modify the display mode of the active viewport. Closing the dialog then resets it back to 1. It is now a clunky dialog, but I can imagine this could be turned into a viewport widget instead.

@Gijs That looks really good! Would we be able to rotate the view (tilt view) while this is active?

That looks easy to use. Easy entering and exiting this mode is essential.

[image] Gijs: it would modify the display mode of the active viewport. @Gijs I’m finding that the test command modifies all the ortho viewports rather than the active one. If this worked just on the active viewport then I think it’d be perfect. Nonetheless, as it is it’s better/quicker than …

The ability to return to no stretching, perhaps by double clicking on the slide, without closing the panel would be appreciated. This would enable a quick return to no stretching, then back to a stretch display. My use would be to horizontally compress selected viewports, typically Top and Front. I…
