Developer: RhinoScript
Summary: Demonstrates how to set the camera angle using RhinoScript.

I need to set my camera view angle to 7.3° horizontal and 5.5° vertical. Furthermore, I need to set the output resolution to 1200 pixels horizontal and a vertical value corresponding to my view angles. How can I do this?

The follow RhinoScript set the camera angle to your requirements.

 Sub TestSetCameraAngle()
 
   ' Local constants (could easily prompt for these...)
   Const horz_angle = 7.3
   Const vert_angle = 5.5
   Const horz_res = 1200
 
   ' Local variables
   Dim view, vert_res
 
   ' Current view must be a perspective view
   view = Rhino.CurrentView()
   If Not Rhino.IsViewPerspective(view) Then
     Call Rhino.Print("Select a perspective view and rerun the script.")
     Exit Sub
   End If
 
   ' Calculate vertical resolution based on existing parameters    
   vert_res = CInt(Round((vert_angle * 2) / (horz_angle * 2) * horz_res))
 
   ' Set the viewport size
   Call Rhino.Command("_-ViewportProperties _Size " & CStr(horz_res) & " " & CStr(vert_res) & " _Enter _Enter", 0)
 
   ' Set the viewing angle
   If (horz_res < vert_res) Then
     Call Rhino.Command("_-PerspectiveAngle " & CStr(horz_angle), 0)
   Else
     Call Rhino.Command("_-PerspectiveAngle " & CStr(vert_angle), 0)
   End If
 
 End Sub
