OMG OMG!!! (sorry for the enthusiasm) That is the solution right there! You copy&paste the coords from the bot-generated camera location and then that tool zeros right down to street level - I just tried it with the file Tomasz sent me and the adjusted coords are returned in the same format. All we need is a way to copy&paste those back into object location - do we have that? Jane
