I think that's the right question. I'm trying to get L3P to give me zero skewing from perspective; I want an isometric view such as what LDraw gives me. I'm taking the approach that to do this in photography, you should get real far back and zoom (...) (25 years ago, 28-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.faq)
