does perform the zoom function, albiet slowly and with some delay. Also,
yes, I have selected the "3-D Geometry" tab in the DD mode.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

between solid and wire modes, I got more results: In wire mode, which I
guess is less taxing on the CPU, I got it to rotate! However, my
relatively robust project image disappeared after too much
rotation.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=830283414-17082009> <FONT

wizard-from-scratch model allowed roation (in wire mode) without
disappearance.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=830283414-17082009><FONT face=Arial

may well be you have computer hardware that is simply straining to display your
model in 3D… I might test that hypothesis by starting a new project and changing
no defaults from the wizard mode. Then you’ll have a “cube” building you
can try manipulating in 3D mode. If that still doesn’t work, you might try
reinstalling in hopes that something has just gone buggy.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

has been suggested to me that I can rotate the view in 3-D by holding down the
"control" key and clicking the left mouse button. However, themost
reaction that I get from the computer, whether or not I drag the mouse during
the process, is a delayed and momentary portrayal of the outlines of the
building components (without areas being colored-in). No rotation
occurs.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
