Dear,  
I would like to rotate the camera during my visualisation. So in the animation view i added camera with orbit. It works well but it makes only one rotation during all the visualisation. I would like to modify this to make more rotation.  
Thanks in advance

No easy way to do that yet. You can edit the orbit path and replicate it multiple times, but you will have to do it manually.

Thanks you for you answer. But i don’t really understand, how and where i can replicate the rotation?  
Thanks in advance

Here is an example, instead of dummy values, just copy the values of the first orbit.

Ok thanks you very much. But i have to do that 90 times, so is there a way to import a trajectory or to duplicate all the trajectory instead of doing this point by point?  
Thanks in advance

You can script it in Python.

You could use the Python trace to trace it one time and then loop it.
