This method is accessible via the [[Image:Camera.png]] icon in the left 'View' toolbar or the 'Display > Camera settings' menu.<br />
<br />
= Description =<br />
<br />
This method displays the 'Camera settings' dialog:<br />
[[Image:Cc_camera_parameters.jpg|center]]<br />
<br />
== Main parameters ==<br />
<br />
The user can change most of the parameters of the (OpenGL) camera of the active 3D view:<br />
* the camera orientation (with Euler angles: ''phi'', ''theta'' and ''psi'')<br />
* the scene rotation center (the [[Image:CcPointPicking small.png]] icon lets the user pick a point in the 3D scene as new rotation center)<br />
* the camera/eye center<br />
* the field of view (only effective in [[Display modes | perspective]] mode)<br />
* the near clipping plane (only effective in [[Display modes | perspective]] mode)<br />
<br />
Note: when changing a parameter the 3D view is directly updated. And conversely, when modifying the 3D view camera position or orientation while this dialog is opened the dialog parameters should be directly updated.<br />
<br />
== Cart system ==<br />
<br />
The cart [[Image:SmallBasket.png]] icon let the user store the current camera orientation.<br />
<br />
Once done the stored camera orientation can be restored with the [[Image:smallReset.png]] icon.<br />
<br />
Moreover the user can set predefined views (from top, bottom, left, right, front, back and 2 isometric views) '''relatively''' to the stored orientation.</div>Daniel
