      I need to include some elements inside camera's view area, but for that I need a visual clue of that field. Is any plugin that draws some sort of cone/pyramid like this

      ? Maybe clines?

      Thank you.

        maybe advanced camera tools does this? dunno, just a guess.

        with a little math u can draw that cone yourself though. sketchup uses FOV (field of view) as camera setting, thats basically all you need. i'm pretty sure that value is the horizontal FOV. im not sure though how to calculate the vertical fov, i think u have to find out the vertical resolution of the viewport first. by hitting export 2D, use viewport size maybe?

        edit: nevermind that math BS, advanced camera tools does the trick i think. never tested it though

            There is a BMVB "Bring My View Back" (what an awkward name! πŸ˜„ )
            It draws a frame covering current view and a line from camera position perpendicular to the frame.
            It doesn't support 2p perspective camera shift - zoom.
