Hi,
I can’t zoom to Selected Object precisely in Rhino 8 Layout. It always zooms to the extent of the default margin. Any way to do it precisely?
Thank you!

It has to do with how Zoom behaves.
▸With command SetZoomExtentsBorder try setting the Zoom for ParallelViews = 1.
Then try zoom selected again.
See if that works for you.
▸Alternatively you can Zoom In to a custom value with Ctrl + Left Click and drag up or down.
You can then use command MoveTargetToObjects to recenter your objects. (select your object first, then run MoveTargetToObjects)
Changing the setting in the command SetZoomExtentsBorder unfortunately doesn’t work.
And the second option is not precise enough for my needs.
However, I found a simple workaround solution: to delete the default detail view(when creating a new layout). Then, create a fresh new one on the extend of the sheet. It seems that Rhino 8 doesn’t consider any modification of the default detail view when zooming to the extent.
Thank you!
According to what you show in your video, you modified the detail so that it would fit the entire sheet with no margins.
But then you zoomed selected your geometry and you highlight how the zoom creates a margin. This will be fixed with changing the ZoomExtentsBorder value.
From the video did not look you were looking for a precise value as you just did Zoom Selected. For more precision in scale you can calculate what scale you need given your drawing and paper size.
Select the detail, and go to Properties tab.
That’s right 
Thank you!
