Align View

[rengarch]

I am trying to determine the location of the camera in an existing photograph of the site with the Align View. I followed the tutorial carefully but when the camera is suppose to be placed on the floor plan I don't see it. I see a camera placed in the 3D Project Settings under Perspective. Isn't the camer icon suppose to placed on the floor plan? Hope this is clear.
If anyone can direct me to better tutorial which probably involves photoshop manipulations, I would appreciate it. See attachment

Thanks in advance.

Question 1: Why is your photo rotated?

Question 2: What geometry method is set on your camera tool - Perspective, VR Object or VR scene? (Should be Perspective - camera icon)

For some reason I was trying to align the horizon with the same direction as the wall. I guess I don't have to do that. I was also trying to align with an exterior shot which has something about rotating the horizon to the x axis. Yes my camer icon is set to camera.
Thanks for any help

Rita:

If a camera is not there, there is a command "Put a camera into the path" to place a camera from the current perspective view. Also check the Path Options dialog box (accessible from the Path... button on the Camera/VR Settings dialog box) to see if your Display Options for the path is set to "None".
