You can ask on behalf of someone, but that doesn't mean you are not 
responsible for your questions here. I never like it when questions are 
so vague it's almost impossible to answer them.

In OpendTect, you have the 3D scene and the 2D viewer. In the 2D viewer, 
you can scale in any way you want: the rubberband allows you to make any 
zoom.

No idea what the 'inline button' is. The closest you can get to a 2D 
section is to pull up .... a 2D section.

Well, that is if you want to make a 'montage' in 3D. That may be a good 
idea too, but imagine what happens if you distort the picture in X or Y 
(or inline or crossline). The whole scene would become a bad case of 
foul geometry. And seriously, what would it add? Just setting the Z 
scale is good.

In the 2D viewer, as said, anything goes. As it should.

I have the feeling that lots of people simply resist the notion of a 
full 3D viewer and try to find any argument they can think of to not 
have to get used to it.

Nice screenshots that would be ... Everything totally geometrically 
incorrect, but nicely displayed in 3D with perspective. 'Look John, this 
channel is really WIDE!'

I simply can't believe this kind of stuff is what you really want.
