Zoom always snaps to empty.

#1

Hi there.

I’ve just placed a path and parented to the camera, the camera follows a moving empty to control the direction of view. Now this is in place the ‘del’ key on the number pad will only zoom/snap to the empty, no matter what object I have selected. Is this correct behaviour? Am I missing something?

Thanks.

If you have tracked the camera to an empty then that’s the point, it will always point to the empty.

Solved. The camera was locked to the empty, that shouldn’t have stopped me looking/editing something else. However, for some reason the empty was locked to itself. I don’t remember doing this, but with that changed to null I can now look around and the camera still works.

Thank goodness. I thought I was going bonkers!
