Thanks Karl. In the fern stand video the designer seems to be switching
in and out of "orbit" mode very quickly, many times right in the middle
of other operations (like push/pull), and I think he said something
about having that function assigned to his middle mouse button (I don't
have one of those). Currently I'm just using the 'O' key to get in and
'Esc" to get out, but I presume there's a way to assign these functions
to a mouse event of some kind? Have you done this?

With SU it's default for a mouse to orbit by clicking and holding the
wheel on a scroll-wheel mouse ... don't need to do anything.

Ah, well it took me some digging, but I finally discovered that my particular
mouse (Logitech MX1100, in concert with the accompanying software, SetPoint)
was assigning the default function of "double click" to the depressing of the
center mouse wheel. I added an exception for Sketchup and programmed it to be
"middle button" instead, and now it works as you've described; much better!
Thanks Karl (again). :-)
