thanks both, i started to try changing the 'perspec' values, but with the explanations it makes more sense than doing it by intuition.
the gemwin-helpfile i had read only explained five arguments with 'view' message, instead of nine which seems to be a different method.
thanks a lot !

 like that. i searched in help-files, examples and the html manual but
 found nothing about it. In project there is a 3D-model that represents a
 building. I would like it to be impressive but with every camera
 position i tried, the building appears ridiculous, like a toy (because of
 perspective i think), or i go "underground" (i mean under the horizontal
 [square] that represents the ground), or i get a "fish-eye"-like
 impression. if i move the camera close to the model, it is cuted and we see
 the inside of the Geo.
