Edit Off-Camera Objects Without Losing Camera Position?

Hi,


I have a scene with some objects that are off-camera, and I'd like to edit them. Is there a way I can edit those objects without moving the camera position? Whenever I do this, I end up having to manually re-set the camera position to its original setting, or its left in the animation.


Thanks.

Hi,
If by off camera you mean outside the blue rectangle.
You can zoom out (just drag with left hand mouse button) exposing more of the space around the blue rectangle by using the WORKSPACE ZOOM TOOL, bottom panel of the tools window.
You can then edit as normal.

Unfortunately, the image becomes too small to work with when I do that.

And with the hand tool (or hold down right mouse button) you can drag your workspace around.

You got your answer but it reminded me of 7feets cool tools. He has one called Orbiter that allows you to save some camera positions which you might find interesting.
