      Chad, you can set the camera to Parallel Projection. Look in the camera menu. Perhaps that will do what you want? another thing you can do is reduce the "wide angle" distortion by adjusting the field of view. Select the Zoom tool from the Camera toolbar. The measurements box will indicate either an angle of view or a focal length (degrees or mm). You can enter a low angle of view or a higher focal length to reduce the appearance of things receding into the distance.

      Here's an example:

      28mm focal length

      85mm focal length

        Yes! Switching to parallel projection did the trick. Thanks!
