Maya orthographic camera view.

JamesTKirk

So I'm messing with maya and one thing just freaks me out.
I got used to orthographic user view because it's more precise when dealing with hard surface objects. So I turned on "orthographic" option in camera attributes and also disabled lock in tumble tool options. And everything was fine until I tried to look at my model from above.
As it turned out maya orthographic camera loses up direction when it passes through zenith.
Is it possible to do something with it?

So no one cares.

can't answer your question, but you could also just use a perspective cam and in the shape node set angle of view to 1. adjust clippping planes as needed.

Yes I've tried that as a workaround but modeling toolbox transform gizmos get extremely large at narrow viewing angle.
