setOrbitPoint()

setOrbitPoint(controls, point): void

Move the orbit point to an anchored surface without letting the camera jump or the zoom decay.

CameraControls.setOrbitPoint internally calls dollyTo(distance), which clamps the orbit radius to [minDistance, maxDistance]. If the anchored surface sits closer than minDistance, that clamp would snap the camera backwards, so the anchor has to be placed with a near-zero minDistance.

But minDistance is also what stops the zoom from decaying: with dollyToCursor + infinityDolly the wheel step is proportional to the orbit radius, and the constant-speed "infinity" push only kicks in once the radius reaches minDistance. Leaving minDistance near zero (as dynamic anchoring used to, globally) let the radius shrink toward zero on every zoom-in, so each notch moved exponentially less — the zoom felt like it was grinding to a halt until a press re-anchored it. So we drop minDistance only for the placement itself and restore it immediately, keeping the real minDistance in force for the wheel.
