      I'm in need of a plugin that allows precise rotation/tilt/translation of the camera, preferably with precise input. I believe there was one from smustard... very vague memories about.
      If it still exists, or there is some other better plugin that allows precise camera control, i would appreciate a hint about it.

      Thanks!

          Have you tried Advanced Camera Tools that ship with SU?

          I have one extension that let you adjust the rotation of the camera quite precisely:
          http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=tt_camera

          But it doesn't do much more - but when you need to make your camera not be level with the ground it's quite useful.

              Does anyone know how to install and find Smustard's Camera Controls toolbar? The folder I downloaded contains RB files. I put the entire folder into SketchUp plugins folder but I'm not sure it's the proper way to do that.

              When I googled CameraControls, there appeared a thumbnail of a movie tutorial on smustard's webpage but I cannot open it.

                Do yourself a favor and do not install plugins in that manner anymore.

                Go the the .RB file, create a zip archive with it selected, rename .ZIP suffix to .RBZ
