      Nope, the new page turns into an exact duplicate of the photomtach. I even made a new page hat does not keep the camera info, then went to my photomatch scene, then updated my other scene to keep camera location, updated the scene and then it also become a copy of the photomatch. 😞

          What about chrisglasier's [CODE]Camera Settings thread. Anything in there?

          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

            What if you simply delete the PhotoMatch scene (without making a new scene prior to that)?

            (Just thinking loud - I have actually never made a PM model)

            Gai...

              This sounds too simple. I must be missing something. In case I'm not, in your console:

              ` # when you like the settings
              view = Sketchup.active_model.active_view
              cam = view.camera
              newcam = cam.set( cam.eye, cam.target, cam.up )
              newcam.fov = cam.fov # others as needed

              later on

              view.camera = newcam`

              (Basic idea. Code not run.)

              Did I see somewhere that cam.set() actually takes more args than the docs report?

                Well, I tried to find a way to do this from the SU UI - but found none.

                    how about using film/stage to create a camera?

                    “There are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.”

                    http://www.Twilightrender.com try it!

                      Very interesting. This must be a Feature request then. Or maybe just make a ruby to do it. I was realy hoping it was built in.

                      Oh well, I'll do it through Ruby then. Thanks everyone. I'll try the film and stage method, then I'll try with your code Martin.

                        Well, as a follow up. I discovered how to do what I wanted more or less. I really just wanted to get the photomatch photo out of the way. I thought deleteing the photmatch would be the easiest way....not the case. But I did find that I could open the SketchOver dialo window and from there I could choose to tun of the photo. So that did the trick.

                          I also discovered that if I then choose to edit the photomatch from the SketchOver dialog window, I can right click and choose "Cancel Photomatch", and that will erase the photomatch, but leave the camera in the correct position. So then I just created a new scene right there, and it worked just how I wanted. After much work.
