Camera import and control

I'd expect the old RB file still to work OK in v2015.
However, how are you making the camera-data file ?
Try Notepad++ and set the file's encoding to UTF8-without-BOM...
Report back...
Dear TIG
Worked a little more with the script and camera file and I am back in business!!
Thanks!!

Hi TIG
I found the old dialog regarding the file TIGimportcamera.rb
I have updated the last Sketup update, but I can't get the script to work this time.
Can you help me?

Also, I would love to donate for having successfully used the script for many years!
How can I donate?

Kind regards,
Mikkel

I've replied to you in a PM

I just tried it on v2024 and it works fine... although most of it is over a decade old !
It imports a text file with a camera-view on each line.

The camera-view entry must be as follows...
name,xeye,yeye,zeye,xtarget,ytarget,ztarget,rollangle,fovangle
there can be an optional value added after 'fovangle':
,image
But you probably aren't wanting to use that.

The values in the entry must be separated with the constants that are set in the RB file:
Edit the ICVSEP and ICDSEP constants to suit your typical file's locale value-separator [' ',;:\t] and decimal.separator [. or ,]...
In the example I show it's as a comma , separator and a .
You might use a space or ; and a , to suit locale.
Please check you are setting up you file correctly.

As I said it works fine given the correct input.
To attach an RB file just drop it into the message
TIGimportcamera.rb
