Hi all, is there a way to show how a camera is on plan view? I need to show where some renderings are took by.
Thanks in advance.

You go to the plan view, then on the project browser, slide down to the view and right-click on it and select "show camera"..

This will show your camera on the plan view you have selected.

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my previous request... I meant show in a permanent way so I can even print the view and then see where the cameras are. This is because I found myself in need to show to the council where I took some render scenes.

I think you will just have to add your own symbol. I do not think that there is any way to do it automatically.

Try:
1. tile 3d view and plan view windows
2. click on 3d view and look at the camera
3. draw some lines in the plan where you think the camera is
4. repeat from step 2 until you've got the lines right

Another way might be to screen capture, make a JPG, insert the image and trace it.

This was a wishlist item for me...

How's this? Yeah, would be nice to have it automatic. API, anyone?

Insufficient garage space - there's still some of the ground floor not devoted to cars. :)
