Hi,  
I would need to use orthogonal camera, At the moment, I don’t really understand the difference between orbit control and arcball.

I would like to link the zoom to a gui slider (zoom %)  
the zoom percentage is related to min max camera camera radius. it does not seem straight using one of these 2 controls. I may need to write my own control ?

[Orthographic camera with OrbitControls](https://jsfiddle.net/seanwasere/4856ruvn/)  
You can rotate the `OrbitControls`, rotate the `cube` and change the `frustumSize` slider
