Camera Angle

[todd.69291]

One of our FormZ uses was asking if I have the ability to control the angle of a camera view. (ie. 60 degree view angle). I know I can drag the view box bigger but can I set a specific angle? Can anybody help?

Go to an elevation view and adjust your camera from there

...but can I set a specific angle?...No you can't set a specific lense angle. I recall an old thread about this but I'll have to search a bit.

Indeed - this was a great thread and PDF (from Wes!) - it's a great explanation of how the program sets up the camera and FOV. I also feel that the camera controls (and other rendering tools) need to be made more robust, but that's coverered in the Wish List area. :P

Me? I personally set up the perspective - and this is purely technical - so that it looks good ! (Impersonating John Houseman....) "I do it the old fashioned way.. I Eyeballllll it." :D ...I fear not many will get that reference!

ToddOn - a Tangent note... This is a SMALL world. - I just noticed you work for MHTN in Salt Lake City... My old stopming grounds! How the heck is the Wasatch Valley? Is MHTN flipping over to Revit? or is it a test subject over in the corner somewhere? Just wondering how the area is accepting the new paradigm shift. TTFN
