OrbitControl - restrict panning movement

Question

Is there any way to restrict the panning movement of a camera in scene?

Tried altering the pan method in orbitControls but I\'m not really satisfied wit

I have encountered the same problem. The solution is not to touch the pan() function but to check the limits in the update() function. Locate the line 162:

// move target to panned location
scope.target.add( panOffset );

Do your limit calculations right after this line:

if (scope.target.x > 1000)
    scope.target.setX(1000);
if (scope.target.x < 0)
    scope.target.setX (0);
...

This will clamp the target x-position. It works quite smoothly.
