Stories and a camera

Anonymous

Brain freeze this morning. For the life of me I cant remember how to put a camera on a certain floor/story. Working on a 3 story building and just want a camera on the 3rd story in the kitchen, but when I go to add a camera it stays on the 1st floor. Any help appreciated. . . Thanks.

Set the Camera height and the target height in your camera settings.

Johnadrian,

if i understand your question correctly, you're trying to show cameras only on the storey they relate to?

From memory, i don't think that's possible as cameras are not related to storeys (or layers) and can only be shown/hidden all together.

As Srinivas mentioned, you can set the height of each camera in its dialog box.

My workaround in the past, when multiple cameras at various heights made the cameras and path difficult to keep track of in plan view, was to designate a colour for each storey and apply the respective respective colour to the cameras which were within that story range.

Another option is to create a new Path (click the New button on the Camera/VR Settings dialog box) for each story.
