      How might I do this.

      Is there away to spin the camera without orbit. I wish to set the ortho plan view (as in Command-1) but I want the orientation of the view (bottom of page) to be at a different angle, while keeping the straight down orthogonal camera. Orbit spoils the camera POV.

      Thank you, Peter

      (Besides the obvious thrill of a spinning camera.)

        Peter, there's a plugin that will set the camera for a plan view but with some other direction other than south being at the bottom. I'll look for it.

          I don't think this is the one I had in mind but try it. Maybe it'll work for you?

                That's the one I was trying to find. Thanks, TIG. It's not in the Plugins Index, at least under your name.

                  It was posted as a response to someone's, request making it harder to find - it is in the index though...

                      TIG that works excellently. Maybe it seems a small thing but it should make working in this project much better. Gives a perfectly aligned scene for LO. THANKS!
