automatic orientation in the perspective viewport

[supa noob]

greetings;
In modeller, is there a way of automatically orientating the perspective view so that you’re looking directly at the face of a selected polygon?

i need a way of sizing/ tapering when when the selection is not exactly on the vertical or horizontal plane

There was some talk about this recently... I think there was a plugin that someone found that would rotate your model based on a selection so that face was on the Y axis letting you do what you want to do... I would do some searches on the forums to see if you can find that thread - not sure what it was called, though.

Wings3d has a operation that does exactly what you're asking. And it is pretty useful. It let's you 'aim' the camera at any normal you have selected.
