Camera position in axonomtery

Tomasz Marek
Beginner
I have hard time getting a position of a camera with axonometric projection.
The 3x3 Transformation gives just info on direction and axonomtery in general.
Camera->GetViewPoint() works only for perspective. How can I figure out a center of a view?

Thank you. I understand now. The bounding box is positioned in relation to project origin. This will help me finding the "central" axis.

For my application I have to specify a position in 3D to avoid clipping so typical in parallel projection. I will calculate it based on Model::GetBounds(). It would be nice if SDK could give such a safe "camera" position for the parallel projection.
