# Limit Camera Movements

{% hint style="info" %}
This setting is for configurators only: to limit the angles and zoom levels the user able to explore in the configurator.
{% endhint %}

You can limit the camera movement in the configurators by setting the properties of the camera in the editor. You can set the following two aspect:

* Distance: how far or how close the camera can go
* Angle: how much rotation is allowed

## Distance

You can set the minimum and maximum distance the camera can take if you click on the camera and set the following two values:

## Angle

Camera movement in the configurator settings can be limited by setting vertical min/max angles (min and max angle (v)) and horizontal min/max angles (min and max angle (h)). Please note that these angles are in degrees and defined in the spherical coordinate system as the following figure implies:

To define possible values for the horizontal rotation, the user can set the minimum value of phi by the field *min angle (h)* and the maximum value by the field *max angle (h)*. In the same manner, the set of the possible values for the vertical rotation can be set by the field *min angle (v)* and *max angle (v)*. In this way, the possible viewing angles for those who uses configurator can be defined.

If you click on the camera than you can find these settings here:

The minimum and maximum vertical angles are from 0 to 180. The screenshot below shows roughly what these values mean:

<figure><img src="https://colormass.slite.com/api/files/moDKsXSXAstqV0/vertical.png" alt="vertical.png" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Values above 180 and below 0 will be clipped. For example you set the maximum vertical angle to 190 degrees, it will be set to 180. Likewise, if you set it to -10 degrees, it will be set to 0.

The horizontal angle goes from 0 to 360 (without any clipping). See screenshot below:

<figure><img src="https://colormass.slite.com/api/files/PHy3Bq7mJuRkbN/horizontal.png" alt="horizontal.png" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The horizontal angle for the camera is 0 degree. If it were 360 degrees, the camera would still be in the same position.

{% hint style="info" %}
Since there is no clipping both setting *min angle (h)* to *0* and *max angle (h)* to 360 and *min angle (h)* to *-180* and *max angle (h)* to 180 will work.
