Orient camera according to specific axis positionning

Questions

Hi, I want to position my ArcRotateCamera so that the axis look like this:
Axis

But I am really struggling to do it because of the behavior of the Camera.

Is there an easy way to achieve this.

I will implement a button so that the user can click on it and the camera will automatically be pointing in a position related to the axis.

I have quicly create a playground to test it: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#2EYZPE#286.
My initial project is much more complex tho, I use Babylon in an Angular project to view mesh, so take note that in my project, the ArcRotateCamera rotate around the center of the loaded mesh.

Thank you!

Howdy,

One way of achieving this is to add a transform node as a parent for the camera and provide an initial rotation to it in order to “change” the camera’s upvector.
