      please explain the purpose of your plugin?

      Make a simple cube. Center it (using the double-click you mention) targeting any specific point over the cube and Orbit.

      You will find it will not always orbit around that expected point.

      The OrbitOnTarget plugin makes it orbit on the selected point (and by the way, the selection is made using the Inference Engine).

        Thanks Marcio for developing the plugin. I'm finding your approach to the controls very good. I have the feeling they will become very intuitive for me with a bit more use. I'm happy.

        Regards, Ross

          Great. Let me know if we can improve the interface or anything else.

            O.K, thanks for the explaination, even if i never use your script thank you for making me discover the MMB function of SK without you i would have never discovered that which is a very valuable function. 😉

              I really wish this worked on a Mac. The Double Click feature is all that works nothing else.

                  hey once you've define the target, can you say for example rotate exactly 180degrees around it?

                        @caddia, The author hasn't visited Sketchucation in more than six years. It's likely that he's no longer supporting this plugin. Might be a good idea to look for an alternative.

                          Curic Spin Camera

                          Camera Circle
                          Camera Spiral
