Google Sketchup Tip: Field of View

I came across this tip the other day and thought I would share it on this blog.  If you have ever been modeling and wished that you could see more inside the window without zooming out, then this tip is for you.  Many times, zooming out doesn't work because there is an object or wall that will come between the 'camera' and what you are looking at in Sketchup.  By changing the field of view you can increase or decrease what is shown in the window.

The video above is quite thorough but I would like to add one note.  If you are a photographer, you know that different lenses can be characterized by their zoom or 'field of view.'  A 20mm lens is more of a wide angle lens than a 300mm zoom lens.  You can also input the desired field of view in Sketchup as millimeters instead of an angle.

I hope that this tip helps you in your sketches!
