Center camera on point default

[rfcomm2k]

Is it possible in HD Pro 2014 to change the camera default so it centers on the point that defaults to the center of the screen? When I activate the camera it always defaults to centering on the camera itself. So when I move the mouse the camera rotates around the object, instead of rotating the object in front of the camera.

I don't use it but it sounds like you want the "3D Center Camera on Point" view  ( same menu as mouse -orbit, mouse-pan etc)

 

click the view then use the mouse to place the point where you want it , eg center of Ridge , then use the mouse or arrow keys to spin the model depending on how you have arrow keys and mouse setup on the 3D Menu.

Thanks Mick, I knew about that but want to know if I can make that the default.

As far as I know that menu always defaults back to Mouse Orbit , best idea would be to email support and ask , however if you draw your full camera carefully extending the camera line to the 3d Point you want you get the same effect using mouse orbit , which is what I do usually , if I want to spin around the model.

My desire is to spin the model instead of moving the camera.

you can spin the model in Overview (any?) Mode with CTRL+ALT+S   or by Orbiting the model in the direction you want and letting go of the mouse button , the faster you move the mouse the faster the spin , reclicking the window or pressing ESC will stop the spin.
