      Okay I think I can attempt my first Ruby plugin with a little help.

      I'm thinking that if I can get two points selected on screen and get the vector between them I can adjust my code below to rotate the SU view to a rotation about screen z.

      Can someone give me a hand?

      ` model = Sketchup.active_model
      view = model.active_view

      Nab existing eye and target objects

      eye = view.camera.eye
      target = view.camera.target

      Define a new camera object

      newCamera = Sketchup::Camera.new

      up = newCamera.up

      Redfine Up vector, ignoring z (Last array element)

      This should rotate the view about the screen center

      Values should range from -1.0 tp 1.0 each I would imagine

      up[0] = 1.0
      up[1] = 1.0
      up[2] = 0.0

      Set new camera components

      newCamera.set eye, target, up

      Apply new view

      status = view.camera=newCamera`

      Resistance is .... Character Forming. Grin
