Viewer cam controls(y&z axis) move your cam at one speed which can be too fast or too slow for your needs.
Use this HUD to move your cam along it's local x,y or z axis in the following increments:
+/- 10.0m
+/- 1.0m
+/- 0.1m
+/- 0.01m
+/- 0.001m
Button Layout:
Power button - turns on/off camera control.
Red buttons - move cam (B)ackward or (F)orward along it's local x axis.
Green buttons - move cam (L)eft or (R)ight along it's local y axis.
Blue buttons - move cam (D)own or (U)p along it's local z axis.
Arrows - Show/Hide HUD (space savings on left or right side of screen)
Helpful Hints:
If you open the edit menu manually (by pie menu) while camera control is active, your cam will then focus on your avatar.

You can prevent this by using Ctrl-3 to open the edit menu instead.
Note - If you are sitting or have manually focused your camera, then the camera may not move to any incremented pos. You may have to use controls or ESC to force this.
Caveats:
Cannot move cam pos outside of region boundaries.
Cannot be used in mouselook.
Use cases:
- Having a tiny object on screen but not focused on and needing to move your cam slightly, but the viewer cam controls overshoot the distance you wanted.
- Needing to adjust your cam's position from something far away but the viewer cam controls take too long to move the cam.
useful!
once turned on, your camera locks on place in sim, even when you move. the row of red blocks from left to right is from zooming in to zooming out, the row with green blocks from left to right is panning from left to right, the row with blue blocks from left to right meaning ascending and decending. i love it!
Hard to use
Camera is hard to use, there needs to be instructions on how to use it. If you move your camera at all it doesn't move. Its not what I am looking for. But thanks for being free so I can find out.
Thank you so much!
I searched for something like this with no confidence that I would actually find anything so I was so excited and amazed to see this for free! I take a lot of pictures in often laggy sims that need to be centred and the built-in camera tools don't always do the job - this HUD works even when the main controls are jerking in large increments due to lag. It's so lovely to have the option to have smaller movements, too. Thank you so much for making this available! Perfect!!
Quirky but helpful!
Sometimes I have to press an arrow key before the HUD will move the camera. Also, it turns itself off when I leave a sim. But all in all a very useful tool - and you sure can't beat the price!
