11.5 Camera Position

Specify the camera position.
At first the camera position could be on the top of a mountain. If you want to have a look from the sky change [Alt.].

Change Altitude

Depending on the camera position there would be a case that the scene is under ground or the mountain is just in front of you. In such case that you want to move in the sky please change the [Alt.].
The [Alt.] represents the relative height from the ground where the camera is positioned. This is not an altitude from the see level.
The camera altitude can be setup either by the slider on the control bar or by selecting [Setup] - [Position]. The unit is in meter.
The absolute altitude can be obtained by adding the Height above Ground  and the Altitude of the ground point. If you want to enter the altitude or the position directly select [Setup] - [Position] and enter the altitude value. The Altitude + Height above Ground represents the camera position.
 

To change the camera position entirely follow the one of the next ways.
(1) Dragging compass on the map

By dragging the center of the compass of the KashBird on the map the camera position can be changed directly. The height of the ground is also caged to the value of that point.

(Point 1)
To locate the KashBird just on a peak of the nearest mountain, drag the KashBird on the Map pushing the [Ctrl] key.

(Point 2)
To relocate the KashBird with constant altitude, drag the KashBird on the Map pushing the [Shift] key.

(2) Click right mouse button and select

Click the right mouse button where you want to put the camera on the map and select [KashBird Position].

(Point 1)
To locate the KashBird just on a peak of the nearest mountain select [KashBird Position] from the right mouse button menu pushing the [Ctrl] key.

(Point 2)
To  relocate the KashBird with constant altitude select [KashBird Position] from the right mouse button menu pushing the [Shift] key.

(3) Specify latitude and longitude

Select [Setting] - [Position] and specify latitude and longitude of the camera. The Altitude + Height above Ground represents the camera position.

When place name data base is opened the position can be selected from the list. Use minus for the south and west value for the latitude and longitude.

(4) Click name

After creating a CG if you put the mouse pointer near the displayed names which will be focused then click on the name. This enables a direct jump to that point. Without displaying the place name this is not possible.
