I'm building a large vehicle and need to move the camera out of it to be able to see where I will be going. However the camera offsets llSetCameraAtOffset and llSetCameraEyeOffset are a PAIN to edit via trial and error. Is there some tool out there that will allow me to pan my camera to the desired spot then hit a button and it will tell me the offset to use?

the only way i know how to combat this is to use my own camera and zoom out.

then using prims set to 1x1x1 i use them to measure how far out the camera is and then i use that to set the offset.
its rather useful.

because offset is calculated in # of meters relevant to the position of the vehicle in any direction along the
-x x
-y y
-z z
ranges.

x values is left
-x values is right
y values is up
-y values is down
z values is far
-z values is near
