      My horizon line always appears in the middle of the screen. Is it possible to lower the horizon line toward the bottom of the screen so that with a taller building viewed from eye level the top doesn't always get cut off?

      Thanks

        Front View [or other as desired].
        Perspective off.
        Zoom as desired.
        Pan.
        Save as a Scene Tab for easy reuse later...
        😕

          If you think about it in terms of a real camera and a real building, you can do any of three things or perhaps a combination of them.

          1. Point the camera up. this will lower the horizon line relative to the center of the camera's view.
          2. Raise the camera up--set the Eye Height up at perhaps half the height of the building.
          3. Use Two-point perspective which is akin to using shift on a view camera.

            Or if a distorted view doesn't disturb you, you can change the field of view...

              Thanks guys. Going to two point perspective seemed to work pretty good.
