      I am using Sketchup 2016 Make and am having problems to setup a cameras precisely.

      Usually cameras have a location and target. Is it possible in SU2016Make to say camera location is (0,-100,0) and camera target is (0,0,0)? Or is some plug-in needed? Is this possible in Make at all?

        You can place the camera with Position Camera from the Camera toolbar or menu And you can aim the camera with Orbit and Pan.

          From the Ruby documentation I now have a working script for exactly what I want to do:

          ` eye = [0,-10000,0]
          target = [0,0,0]
          up = [0,0,1]

          my_camera = Sketchup::Camera.new eye, target, up
          my_camera.focal_length = 100

          view = Sketchup.active_model.active_view
          view.camera = my_camera`

          Is there really no plug-in with some tiny UI that lets me do this kind of stuff?
