Thanks TIG
I have been looking for a way to get my exact camera information from max to sketchup for ..... a long time.
Thank you for your time and work.

Hi TIG

Sorry I havn't given a quick answer...
The script works!!!
Would it be hard work to thange the units from inches to meters?
Also, would it be possible to make a input panal inside sketchup where the camera values could be entered and manipulated.

I appreciate your help very much, and i didn't think it was possible to get the same precision in sketchup as in 3ds Max - awsome!!

Hi again
I have here two cameras that I would like get into sketchup. If you can explain the procedure and if there is a way to manipulate the cameras once in sketchup.
The coordinates follow
name, xeye,yeye,zeye, xtarget,ytarget,ztarget, rollangle, fovangle
Camera_1 160,4 130,52 2,12 10,20 1,53 1,32 -1,52 26,89
Camera_2 2510,23 1263,25 2,56 12,25 4,89 2,39 2,56 16,96
Thanks!

I will look into the script.
Can you please explain what the following code describes (0.144554343836861, 0.17642847255434, 0.973641122667915)
Is it camera tilt parameters?

Sounds great.
Actually i am using photomodeler - to calculate camera parameters, and it can deliver camera information i txt.
I am not quite sure what the third coordinate is that you are refering to - the UP value.
I can get the roll/til value which is in degrees - roll left or right.
I can send a text file later today.
Thanks!!

Thanks for the reply.
I am though looking for a more precise way of setting up the camera.
I have a well known camera with GPS measured position, and calculated target, so my pricision is down to centimeter lever.
In Max one can set the camera parameters through number input, and it would be a script that can do that I am looking for.

Hi
I am not sure if this is the right place to post, but i am new so bare with me.

Is there a plugin or a way to import the camera's from 3ds Max into sketchup - and have them set up as scenes. They need to have the precise parameters regarding position (X,Y,Z), target (x,y,z), roll (tilt of the camera) and focal length.
Also, is there a plugin where the scene and view can be controlled by using the exact same camera parameters - position (X,Y,Z), target (x,y,z), roll (tilt of the camera) and focal length.

The goal is to use known camera parameters in sketchup.

Thanks
