hi micheal

Yes that helped, in the end i fiddled with the last number, (now 315) which rotates the point of view.

script:var vp = moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D'); vp.projection = 'Parallel'; vp.setAngles( 90 - (Math.asin(Math.tan(30 * Math.PI/180)) * 180/Math.PI), 315 );

now i just need to set up 4 short cut keys to get all 4 viewing angles, or even better 4 small buttons in the view tab but that might be pushing it for me and my minuscule coding abilities!

regards

Matt
