      i could never understand why the angle of view was so different until I figured out Sketchup uses the vertical rather than horizontal field of view, whereas we normally use the horizontal number, for instance in Super 35 format all the ratios (1.78, 1.85 and 2.40) have the same horizontal angle of view. Only the vertical angle is different.

      I just ran into this myself when I wanted to illustrate on a plan drawing where the view I had created was taken from. I drew a triangle where the angle between two of the lines matched the AOF su reported only to find out that the lines would not match what was seen in the scenes.
      I think that an ruby is in order here to rectify this. I'll see what I can do when I get some spare time.

          Just found this thread: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=9321&p=145393

          If you open the Ruby Console and type in Sketchup.send_action 10624 it opens a window which allows you to change SU's behaviour so it sets the AOV horizontally instead of vertically.
