        Would it be possible to export/import also shadow settings and layer visibility along with the camera scenes?
        Basically exporting/importing whole scenes, and not just the cameras?

          Hi again,
          I have installed the plugin in SU2014 on Mac OS X 10.9.4 but it doesn't work, it appears this message in Ruby Console when I try to import the cameras exported:

          Error: #<ArgumentError: Cannot create unit vector from zero length vector> /Users/Oxer/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/camera_export_import.rb:240:ininitialize'
          /Users/Oxer/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/camera_export_import.rb:240:in new' /Users/Oxer/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/camera_export_import.rb:240:in block in run_import_camera'
          /Users/Oxer/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/camera_export_import.rb:184:in each' /Users/Oxer/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/camera_export_import.rb:184:in run_import_camera'

          The plugin works fine on SU2013, the file exported with SU2013 it's opened perfectly with SU2014.
          If this can help you, here the content of the SU_export_camera.txt files for SU2013 & SU2014, the cameras exported are the same for SU2013 & SU2014:

            This is because the way the data is compiled from the array into a string in Ruby1.8 is different to Ruby2. It is currently incompatible with v2014 !
            Here is how to fix it...
            Open the file in Notepad++ on PC or TextWrangler on the MAC.
            Find line #152, which reads:
            myfile.write(new_array_entry.to_s)
            Change it to read

            if Sketchup.version.to_i < 14
              myfile.write(new_array_entry.to_s)
            else ### >=v2014
              new_array_entry.each{|e| myfile.write(e) }
            end
            

            Save it and restart SketchUp.
            Now it should write the same format of data-file in all versions of SketchUp.
            The import [reading] part should remain unaffected across versions...

            TIG

              Because the author allows future changes by others, I have made v1.2 compatible with all SketchUp versions - available here http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=camera_export_import

                        Im looking for something to place a camera on exact axis. This way i can copy a camera from different modeling app. Its seems to be missing in some importers.

                        Does anyone know a trick or script?

                              你好 我发现1.2版的这个插件在处理两点透视(并且缩放平移过)的相机时会出现问题,直观来说就是无法正确的导出和导入,我看了下代码,不知是不是因为没有加入“CX,CY,比例”这三个参数(在普通机位,这三个数值分别为0,0,1),如果是的话,我想请教如何自行添加?如果不是话,那无法正确处理两点透视相机的问题在哪里?
