      Does anybody know what exactly the native sketchup orbit tool does? I am trying to emulate it programmatically by applying a rotation transformation around the camera left or up vector (depending on the required direction) with the origin being at the camera target, this is what makes sense to me for the orbit, but it is not what the sketchup orbit is doing.

      So what exactly is it orbiting around?

        Not sure.
        How I'm curious why you're recreating the tool...

          Working on a viewing/walk though/demo plugin. It will allow to create a walk through path and several other options. One of the options is an orbit path. If the center of the orbit is not specified I want it to do whatever sketchUp does.
