      Hi!
      Does anybody have a glue how would I convert focal length to SU FOV?
      I have some background picture taken with Canon EOS 5D Mark II focal length 24 mm.
      So my FOV=???
      BTW is focal angle (the term in camera point of view\target.rb that I use) mean same that su field of view does? ❓
      Thank you in advance

        With the Zoom tool, type 24mm in the VCB.

        Works the other way as well: 55deg

          You could paste this in to the Ruby Console.

          Sketchup.active_model.active_view.camera.focal_length = 4

          I don't know the formula, but I think they are inversely proportional.
