rotatong around selection

[alexx]

that functionality as a feature is missing in maya..
you will either have to set the rotation pivot where you need it (pressing <w>, then <insert> and then move the pivot where needed) or you have to create an extra grouping that has its center where you want it.

cheers

in the viewport ? - select the vertex and hit f to focus

The focus function is nice, but as soon as a do a 'region zoom' the focus on the selction is lost. Is there a way that the viewport always takes the current selection as the pivot for the viewports rotation?

try ctrl + alt + hold down lm and drag from upper left to lower right around an object (this will focus and zoom in) or from lower right to upper left (to zoom out).
