Unfortunately no.

Even the models in the designer can't rotate. 

I remember in GCII I could rotate. But now...

Does your mouse wheel count as an actual third button, or it is just clicking because of the mechanics? Not all mice, especially older ones, have a third button that actually functions as such, and in some cases, you may need to actually configure your mouse so that the button works normally. It works for me on my mouse at least. I just press and hold the mouse wheel (the third button), and move the mouse.

I use a Logitech Keyboard + Mouse combination.

There comes a software with which you can configure many buttons and the mouse wheel.

I have not used this until now because the mouse wheel's default set is "zoom", "zoom" was always more important to me than "middle mouse button".

For a test, I have now configured the mouse wheel as a "middle mouse button" and huh..., it works. I can rotate the map and the zoom works too.

Thanks for jumping in for assistance. 

 

By the way, in my research on the solution, I've found this issue is not uncommon. Nowhere I found a commentary or an assistance from the developers - embarrassing.

I disagree. It's not a function/fault of the game or the developers. It's more a case of needing to realize that reprogramming one's mouse disables certain "standard" functions.

Yeah modern mice with tons of buttons often need to be configured before all of the buttons will behave the way you want them to. That is one of the reasons I like sticking to simpler wireless mice. lol
