From Doug parks..

All the features of X1 are there.

We have simply filled out the matrix of possible views so that orthographic views are available for perspective.

There are two ways to zoom and they can be compared to what happens in a digital camera.

Field of view zooming is the kind of zooming you get when holding your camera and using the optical zoom. Panning by moving the camera is similar.

The other form of zooming is similar to what you get after you take your digital photo. Or for those that are a little older "dark room" zooming. In this form of zooming you are really just magnifying the picture that was already taken. Panning in this mode is simply moving around looking at the scene.

The second form is what we find most customers prefer and is therefore the default.

This explosion of options is probably a bit confusing to get used to, but there is no reason that you can't get the same results as X1 and there are a bunch of options that you didn't have in X1.

The distortion you are seeing is simply how perspective works. While we could prevent you from zooming out to see that we feel that it is better to err on the side of allowing things rather than preventing them.
