A camera mod will get you up close.

Check out MTS2 for camera mods.

Green Diamond:

Press the "Tab" button and move the camera with the help of W, A, S, D, Q, E and the mouse

or use the arrows, Q (down) and E (up) instead :) (Q and E only for TAB mode - In play cam, Q is "Quit game")

also, if you forgot to put the walls up, you can use the "home" and "end" buttons.
For going up/down floors, use the "page up/down" buttons.

. and , is rotate camera (play mode)
+ and - is zoom in and out (but you can also use the mouse wheel for this)
And you can tilt and move the camera around with either moving the mouse, or using the touch pad on a laptop (TAB mode)
C is shortcut for taking pictures
P is pause/start.
1, 2, 3 is normal, faster, and very fast game speed
CTRL in combination with 4 to 9 saves camera settings (you can save one set for free cam (TAB), and one set for normal camera mode)

Also, showheadlines on/off turns on/off speach bubbles and most of the other pop up text bubbles and such.


also, if you don't have a clue on how to get the gridlines away when photoshooting in buy/build mode, either press the recolor button, or the shortcut R just before going into Free cam mode. This is the fastest and easiest way of removing them.

In learning the camera modes when pushing the tab button, I found that "z" and "x" will move you closer or further away in smaller increments. I never could get the camera angles saved and the plumbobtoggle cheat doesn't work for me. Figured it must be related to having newer eps.

Saving a camer-angle is done using Ctrl + 4 to 0 (either one of those). Then when you enter cameraman mode, you can press 4 to 0 again and you'll jump back into the saved position.
You can't use 1 to 3 because those are used for with which speed, time passes in the game. :)
