> I always seem to have massive trouble obtaining the view of a 3d plot that I would like. When I rotate it with the mouse, it seems to hit a "wall" where then I either cannot rotate any more or it flips over some axis and does not allow me to get the viewpoint where I want it. Is there a way to put the 3d rotation into a "free-er" mode where I can spin it any which way as if it were a 3d model in a modeling (SolidWorks, etc) program?

I don't generally like the built-in rotation either. I usually end up designing my own controls using the WindowButton(Down/Motion/Up)Fcns. You could also check some of the CAM(BLANK) functions, like CAMDOLLY, CAMZOOM, etc.
