Camera Settings

1 – Camera's elevation in relation to the ground level.

2 – Horizontal angle of a camera.

3 – Vertical angle of a camera.

4 – Choose between the Perspective and Orthographic views. The Perspective view shows a regular picture in the 3D view. It lets you adjust the camera's field of view. The Orthographic view is designed to create the top or side view without the effect of perspective. The Orthographic top view resembles the floor plan. (Pro edition only)

5 – The vertical field of view of a camera. It works as you zoom in or out using a regular photo camera. Wider angles may create distortions near the picture sides. (Pro edition only)

When the Orthographic view is selected, you can adjust the Zoom and Clipping Plane parameters. Zoom lets you zoom in or out. Clipping Plane moves the section plane to or from the point of view. Using this parameter, you can show the top view of the ground floor while your house has the first floor or roof. (Pro edition only)
