Continuing the discussion from Confused about Field of View Camera Settings : [image] Confused about Field of View Camera Settings Just a note about the field of view in SketchUp: The FOV numbers do not match the ones given to a 35 mm camera lens. In SketchUp the FOV is measured vertically across…

SketchUp is not a camera. It uses a monitor to display results in a wide variety of sizes and aspect ratios. Rather than try and provide a long list of settings to accommodate the range of possible display devices, it makes more sense to use the vertical reference since almost all computer monitors …

[image] jimhami42: BTW, 35mm film uses a 3:2 aspect ratio. All 35mm camera lenses reference this, so the diagonal is just as good as either vertical or horizontal. However, this underlying use assumes the 3:2 aspect which, while close to the Golden Mean, is rarely encountered in the video monito…

If I go from a scene to model extents zoom the clipping disappears. If I go back to the scene it reappears. I can se…

[image] coandaintakeman: If I go back to the scene it reappears. If your scene manager is set to retain the camera (i.e., “Properties to be saved Camera location” is checked), it will store the settings with the scene. However, if you make any changes to a scene at all, make sure to right-cl…

HI Jimhami42, thanks for responding. On my scenes I want to have the camera on Parallel projection to get front, side and top elevations in Layout. If I go to Perspective or 2 Point Perspective I get the 3d view and not the standard drafting layouts. I cannot then make the FOV changes in any scene (…
