Hi @jerrygoh89! Welcome on the forum!

I think you can use the layout parameter scene_camera, you can find details here:

Hi Skiks,

Thanks for the warm welcome!
I’ve tried to play with the camera_eye but I couldn’t understand how does the xyz value contribute to the angle, do you have any idea?

Hey @jerrygoh89,

I created a small app to test the sceneparameters a while ago because I had the same problem. Maybe it helps you to understand the settings:

github.com

AIMPED/plotly_dash/blob/master/plotlyDash_3Dplot_scenePlayground.py

import json
import dash
from dash import html, dcc, Input, Output, State, clientside_callback
import dash_bootstrap_components as dbc
import plotly.graph_objects as go
import pandas as pd


# Read data from a csv
z_data = pd.read_csv(
    'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/api_docs/mt_bruno_elevation.csv')

fig = go.Figure(
    data=go.Surface(z=z_data.values),
    layout=dict(
        title='Mt Bruno Elevation',
        autosize=True,
        width=500,
        height=500,
        margin=dict(l=0, r=0, b=0, t=30),
