If you just do a straight "L3P model.dat," then you're right; the whole model
fits very nicely in the camera's view (though a little fish-eyed, I find). But
if you switch the view to orthographic, the model can appear a bit off-center
and partially out of frame. I suppose that changing the camera angle might
offset this, but my caveman-sophistication has never prompted me to play around
with that function in that way.
I don't mean this to sound in any way like I'm dissing L3P, by the way! I give
thanks several times a day to Lars for this fantastic program!
Dave!
