Fred: On the side of the interface to the right is a little wireframe cube that controls the Display modes, hover your cursor over that area and it will appear. When you click and hold on it a 'dialog' pops up that lets you view the scene in Sree 3D, Direct 3D and Open GL if your video card supports it. Anyway you will be able to see the scene in solid shaded mode which should help you place the camera better. I usually place the camera from top view in the general area that I want it, then Director to Camera, fine tune the Director View and then Camera to Director. Hope this helps, Jade
