      Hi everyone! Great site!!!

      So my problem is this: I created a big room, with around 8 windows, made chairs and tables. Then I pasted 5 objects/components into the room. Made more changes to the room.

      I was very pleased with how it turned out. I went into birdseye view mode and saved it. After this, my view is stuck in a fisheye type of view. The edges of the screen are stretched out a little bit no matter what the angle. It's very frustrating to say the least.

      I've fiddled with the camera settings (Parallel Projection/Perspective/Two-Point Perspective) but to no avail. It just won't snap back to how it was.

      Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      Thanks!!

        Can you show a screen grab?

        If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

            Press the Z key - your cursor will change to a magnifier glass (this is the Zoom tool).

            Hold Shift and click on the screen and pull the cursor up and down. This will change the Field of View (FOV). In the meanwhile, if you look at the measurement toolbar at the bottom right, you will notice that the FOV setting is changing. Now you can even type a desired number (do not click in there just type) like 35 and press Enter. This will get you back to some "normal looking" FOV setting.

            The higher this number is, the more "fish eye" effect ou have (can be good for interiors)
