Creating 3D Views
Creating Views
You can create a view that captures the current state of the Viewport so that you can quickly apply the view at any time later.
There are two types of views:
· Views : positions, visibility, and other properties of all parts, camera position and zoom scale
·
Camera Views
: only camera position and zoom scale
|
|
Views are stored and shared per 3D Model. Thus, when you delete some views in the 3D Model or 3D Animation edit mode, those views will become unavailable for any objects of the same 3D Model in the document. |
To Create Camera View
1. Select the 3D Views checkbox from the Panes panel in the View tab of 3D Model edit mode.
2. Adjust the camera by Zoom In , Zoom Out , Rotate , or Pan in the Viewport as needed.
3. Click the Create Camera View icon
in the Toolbar of the 3D Views pane.

The thumbnails of
Camera Views will have the icon
|
at the top left corner to
differentiate them from those of Views in the 3D Views pane.
