Neutral points/numbers for pan/tilt/focus - Krenzathal - 08-23-2016

Hey folks,

I'm having a great time with Frameforge but I'm wondering if there is a way to numerically keep track of what's going on with the pan/tilt/focus?

I've no idea what's neutral and there doesn't seem to be any readouts anywhere or spirit levels/reference points to know where you started, where you are currently or where you've been. I can't seem to see a set to neutral button or anything although I may have missed it.

Thanks, it's driving me nuts having to guess!

You can set the tilt to level using the Reset Tilt button (see diagram). I'm not sure what one would mean by a neutral zoom.

   

The current focal length in millimeters is shown in the lower left corner of the window. You can get the current pan and tilt angles by clicking the numeric pan/tilt button, and then in the resulting dialog, clicking the "Pan/Tilt are absolute directions" radio button. That dialog also contains a button to reset the pan and tilt.
