OK, i tried the suggestion...

target => 3Dpoint of [0.999938,0.001129,-0.011103]
eye => 3Dpoint of [1.054297,1.571880,-8.966838]
up => 3Dvector of [-0.011108,0.005189,-0.999925]

but it is not correct, i will continue to play around with the values to see if i can fiqure this out. If you have any more thoughts feel free to post them.
Thanks

Many thanks my friend, I had almost given up hope.

I am 99% sure this is referring to world coordinates.I will try your suggestions and post back if this does not work. Stay tuned

Hello,
I am trying to apply some raw matrix(4x4) data to a camera object in SU. I am parsing an output file from another program and my data looks like this...

[
[0.999938,0.001129,-0.011103,0.000000], 
[0.001072,-0.999986,-0.005202,0.000000], 
[-0.011108,0.005189,-0.999925,0.000000], 
[1.054297,1.571880,-8.966838,1.000000]
]

How can i apply this 4x4 matrix to the camera since it has no transformation method? I know how to use the transformation class but not how to apply this to a camera.

OK, i found out that M[-1] represents the camera loc and (M[0],M[1],M[2]) affect rot and scale. But i still cannot translate this to a SU camera. Here is what i got so far...

eye = M[-1]
target = ?
up = ?
cam = Sketchup;;Camera.new(eye, target, up)

Any help whatsoever is greatly welcomed, math, programming, 2 cents, whatever!?
Thanks in Advance!

Thanks Phil Rader,
I will check out that script

Thanks Jim,
from the code i should be able to put things together now.

Thanks again guys

Thanks Jim,
Actually i was referring to Ruby, and how this would be done in Ruby. I would like to create a bunch of cameras and move between them(sort of a moving camera animation).

I know how to create cameras by...

camera = Sketchup.camera.new

but not sure the SURuby way of moving between them. I have consulted the docs, but not able to put this action together. Thanks in advance for your kind help

Can anybody point me to a script or tut that would show me the best way to create an array of cameras and move between them. I have consulted the API but can't seem to put it together yet.

Another area of frustration is quick and dirty animations, say sliding a group across the red axis or whatever.
thanks
