 * FCCamera_05.png : Align the object selected to the actual view. The changed values are : Rotation Axis((X, Y, Z), Angle) Same Euler angles : Yaw, Pitch, Roll, The Translation is not modify.


 * FCCamera_06.png : A circular plane is created facing the screen to mouse click coordinates on an object. The radius of the plane is equal to the maximum dimension of BoundBox. If no object is selected, the plane is created to 0, 0, 0 coordinates with a radius of 20 mm. The radius is modifiable to line 515:
