Hi Keith, << But, once my IPAS was terminated the USER view would remain unchanged. I have tried modifing the Viewport structure, and then redrawing the viewport, but this does nothing. You mentioned last time about using the File Toolkit, could you elaborate? >> IPAS4 will allow you to do_3ds_save. The 3DS File toolkit has a GetViewport3DS and a PutViewport3DS functions and also there is a data structure called UserView3ds containing the center, zoom, horang, verang. You could change these values, and use IPAS4 to do_3ds_load the modified *.3ds file prior to exiting. << How can I select cameras and lights in a PXP. EXP_PICK_OBJECT works great for mesh objects, but does nothing for cameras and lights, and I can't seem to find anything else that works in a PXP. KXP_PICK_NODE looks like it would be perfect, but it doesn't seem to work in a PXP. >> Have you looked at the possibilities of using gfx_camera_at and gfx_light_at, etc.. as an avenue? Also, slightly relevant here.. have you seen..?
