I've added a control panel to the camera block to help with orientating the placement (please see the images). I've also added build stages and a few more components. The control panel is only meant to give a point of reference for placement and a point for grinding because removing the old camera system was a pain. I also added the dividing line back to the overlay (I found I missed it more then I thought). I hope these changes enhance your enjoyment of the mod. Send some feedback and let me know.

2.1 Update: Adjusted the collision box on the large hull camera as it prevented connection between two ships.

2.2 Update: Added to the large connector versions a bottom version and renamed. I didn't add the no overlay.

2.3 Update: There was an error in the grouping which made some cameras unavailable. Should be fixed.

2.4 Update: I think I have fixed the grouping problems. You should only see two icons in the Large Blocks, Small Blocks and Conveyor groups. Using the wheel you can scroll between the top and bottom version. You can press the assigned G menu number to switch to the small version (only the top version has this). I may add a small version for the bottom soon.

Note the addition of the collision box will prevent the connection between two hull camera connectors. Not sure why someone is going hull to hull like that anyway :) your just asking for damage.

Version 1 Notes:

This is an update to LyleCorp Optics https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=837700572 According to the comments lylesonders has moved on and left this mod for others to update. Well I've taken it on and I hope you enjoy it.

I've made a new clean image and increased the resolution. I did remove the wide angle view as the offsets were not correct and so the view didn't look right. If this is something people think is really cool maybe I'll see if I can figure it out and add it back in.

As for placing the camera, you really need Digi's BuildInfo tool https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=514062285. Until I figure out how to add helper graphics to the model at placement time, this is the best way, and it is a great tool anyway. I've added some images to help illustrate how to place the cameras using BuildInfo. As you can see with out this tool placement is almost impossible. Thanks Digi.

This is my first MOD let me know what I can do to improve the work.

Thanks
