represents a viewpoint saved in orthographic mode.
represents a viewpoint saved in perspective mode.
represents a viewpont animation clip.
represents a cut inserted into a viewpoint animation clip.
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 viewpoint animations and create
folders to organize these viewpoints and viewpoint animations. You can also drag and drop viewpoints or
viewpoint animations onto viewpoint animations or folders, and holding down the Control key during this
operation will copy the element being dragged. This allows fairly complex hierarchies of viewpoint
animations and folders to be easily composed.
Viewpoints, folders and viewpoint 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 shortcut menu, depending on the element, or if you've
right-clicked a blank space. The following section explains the different shortcut menus.
The Viewpoint Shortcut Menus
You get a different shortcut menu, depending on what element you right-click on in the Viewpoints
control bar:
• Blank space
• A saved viewpoint
• A viewpoint animation
• A folder
All shorcut menus share the Sort option, which sorts the contents of the Viewpoints control bar
alphabetically, including folders and their contents.
The Viewpoints Control Bar Shorcut Menu
Saving viewpoints, adding viewpoint animations and folders
1. Right-click a blank space in the Viewpoints control bar.
2. Choose Add Folder if you want to add another folder. A new folder will be created with its default
name ("FolderX") editable.
