      Hi forum!
      I'm modelling with sketchup and rendering with maxwell standalone plugin (free), I have noticed when rendering some views the rendered image does not correspond with my SU view, I moved my 3D model 100mt away from the origin point [0,0,0] and the problem was solved...
      I would like to move my saved views the same distance, found a method to create a camera in SU from scratch with eye and camera position coordinates:
      https://developers.google.com/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/camera#eye , but first need to get eye and camera position coordinates of my saved views, any ideas or suggestions on how to get eye and camera position coordinates???
      thanks

      p.s. here is a screen capture, with a saved view on the viewport and the maxwell fire window showing a different rendered view.

        The camera data for any view can be retrieved by the following

        mod = Sketchup.active_model
        vue = mod.active_view
        cam = vue.camera
        puts "Camera location=#{cam.eye}" #where the camera is
        puts "Camera target=#{cam.target}" #where the camera is pointed
        puts "Camera up=#{cam.up}" #where top of the camera is facing
        
        

        Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.
