You can select more than one viewpoint by either holding down the Control key and left clicking, or by
left clicking on the first item, and then clicking on the last item while holding down the Shift key. You can
drag viewpoints around the viewpoints control bar, and reorganize into folders or animations.
There are no buttons on this control bar, and commands are actioned through context menus. Through
these menus, you can save and update viewpoints, create and manage animations and create folders to
organize these viewpoints and animations. You can also drag and drop viewpoints or animations onto
animations or folders, and holding down the Control key during this operation will copy the element being
dragged. This allows fairly complex hierarchies of animations and folders to be easily composed.
Viewpoints, folders and animations can all be renamed by slow clicking (clicking and pausing without
moving the mouse) on the element, or clicking on it and hitting F2. Right clicking on an element in the
Viewpoints control bar gives you a different context menu, depending on the element, or if you've right
clicked in a blank space. The following section explains the different context menus.
13.4. The Viewpoint Context Menus
You get a different context menu, depending on what element you right click on in the Viewpoints control
bar:
• Blank space
• A saved viewpoint
• An animation
• A folder
All context menus share the Sort option, which sorts the contents of the Viewpoints window
alphabetically, including folders and their contents.
