Properties

NameDescription
ApertureMode { get; set; }Gets or sets the camera’s aperture mode
Aspect { get; set; }Gets or sets the aspect ratio of the frustum(Inherited from Frustum.)
AspectRatio { get; set; }Gets or sets the view plane aspect ratio.
Direction { get; set; }Gets or sets the direction that the camera is looking at. Changes on this property will also affects the LookAt and Target.(Inherited from Frustum.)
Excluded { get; set; }Gets or sets whether to exclude this entity during exporting.(Inherited from Entity.)
FarPlane { get; set; }Gets or sets the frustum’s far plane distance.(Inherited from Frustum.)
FieldOfView { get; set; }Gets or sets the camera’s field of view in degrees, this property is used only when ApertureMode is Horizontal or Vertical
FieldOfViewX { get; set; }Gets or sets the camera’s horizontal field of view in degrees, this property is used only when ApertureMode is HorizAndVert
FieldOfViewY { get; set; }Gets or sets the camera’s vertical field of view in degrees, this property is used only when ApertureMode is HorizAndVert
Height { get; set; }Gets or sets the view plane’s height measured in inches
LookAt { get; set; }Gets or sets the the interested position that the camera is looking at.(Inherited from Frustum.)
Magnification { get; set; }Gets or sets the magnification used in orthographic camera
virtual Name { get; set; }Gets or sets the name.(Inherited from A3DObject.)
NearPlane { get; set; }Gets or sets the frustum’s near plane distance.(Inherited from Frustum.)
OrthoHeight { get; set; }Gets or sets the height when frustum in orthographic projection.(Inherited from Frustum.)
ParentNode { get; set; }Gets or sets the first parent node, if set the first parent node, this entity will be detached from other parent nodes.(Inherited from Entity.)
ParentNodes { get; }Gets all parent nodes, an entity can be attached to multiple parent nodes for geometry instancing(Inherited from Entity.)
ProjectionType { get; set; }Gets or sets the camera’s projection type. By default the perspective projection is used.
Properties { get; }Gets the collection of all properties.(Inherited from A3DObject.)
RotationMode { get; set; }Gets or sets the frustum’s orientation mode This property only works when the Target is null. If the value is FixedTarget, the direction is always calculated by the property LookAt Otherwise the LookAt is always calculated by the Direction(Inherited from Frustum.)
Scene { get; }Gets the scene that this object belongs to(Inherited from SceneObject.)
Target { get; set; }Gets or sets the target that the camera is looking at. If the user supports this property, it should be prior to LookAt property.(Inherited from Frustum.)
Up { get; set; }Gets or sets the up direction of the camera(Inherited from Frustum.)
Width { get; set; }Gets or sets the view plane’s width measured in inches
