Howdy,

I am using "GetActiveBasedraw" and the according bd->GetMg().off for a backface culling test (own function).

Now when there is an orthogonal projection, like top, bottom etc., the .off vector is always 0,0,0. How do I get a usable eye position vector from these?

Shall I simply use the unit matrix and add MAXREAL to the y-Component (but that would probably only work for the top, bottom and side views, not for military etc..) or what is the usual procedure to overcome this problem?

Thanks
