"Camera" pull-down, click "field of view", type-in "30", hit enter...this should bring you back to default. You can also drag the spyglass to change the VCB (lower right-hand corner.

Hope this helps, and welcome! Best, Tom.

Yes, Tom you are the best. Last night I wracked my brains for an hour trying to get an imported image to convert to component and always face camera. After several complicated posts about materials, exploding are redrawing, I fount your two line solution of, "you can't make a component from a single item, draw a line on it, make component, edit component, close component, orient to camera." DANG! I just new there was an easy way. Just took so long to find it.
After trying to import the image as a photo match (or whatever that's called), I have been stuck in an odd field of view as well. What do you know, Tom has a easy fix. Thanks very much. I am a fabricator and don't get many jobs that need to be done in sketchup, so everytime I jump on, I am rusty again. Beats the crap out of trying to learn AutoCad. Yeah, I know it's an awesome powerhouse, bla bla. I am a one man show and need to bang out drawing fast to land gigs
Thanks again, I love user forums!

Holy Cow!!! You Rock! I am an artist working in blown glass, and I got into using Sketchup about a year ago to make mock ups of glass installations in homes and other locations. Sketchup has been great at the architecture part, making a niche or what have you works well and looks good. But rendering a blown glass object in sketchup has not been satisfying because the objects are too geometric, and I can't bend them and put the soft contours on the objects. NO LONGER!! This plugin has made my presentation look so much better! Thanks so much for sharing your brainiac coding ways with the rest of us!! I am sure I am being redundant, I see there are lots of comments here, but thanks so much!!

Ah, what a dork, yes, its a component, edit component, check for stray lines brought up 13 items, I am solid and extruded. Thanks for the tips, I just needed to figure out how to apply all those neeto tricks to my object! dxf gets imported as a component.
I had to
select component,
edit menu, component, edit component
then go through and use stray line tool and weld tool to fix it up. Tiny little problems that are super hard to see, but between repeated uses of both tools, wazambo!

So, when I try weld, its says pick at least 2 edges, when I try the sandbox contour method, it says I must choose contours. When I select even one line of my imported dxf the whole thing is selected with a box around it. Every line is blue. What does this mean? It would seem that all the lines are connected... but again, not a solid, no extrusion... Wha?

Why yes, this is frustrating! So, I am an artist making images in photoshop, using magic tracer 2.0 to convert from raster to dxf. Once I import into SU, I can't get a face on the outline, which seems to act as a component. The end result of this process would be dxf files a water jetter or laser cutter could use to cut metal and glass shapes, and the SU drawing being my working drawings. Stray lines finds nothing. But I still can't fill or extrude this shape. Where do I get the projection tools? I tried drape, it only takes the outline, and I have internal stuff as well. I have watched the video several times.... I don't have the bucks to buy more plugins, the software I have cost me my flex funding..
