If you mean that a long skinny model spins such that parts go out of frame, this is almost certainly due to your having a non-square window. ZOOM 100 is designed to fit the model radius (a sphere) to be within bounds of one of the dimensions. Somewhere along the development way -- around 2005 -- this was set to be the larger dimension, which causes this issue. You can use
set zoomlarge false to change that and make this calculation use the *smaller* dimension. This ensures that in rotations no part of the model extends beyond the frame.
