pymel.core.rendering.lookThru

lookThru(*args, **kwargs)

This command sets a particular camera to look through in a view. This command may also be used to view the negative z axis of lights or other DAG objects. The standard camera tools can then be used to place the object. Note: if there are multiple objects under the transform selected, cameras and lights take precedence. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
