The Viewpoints Control Bar
The viewpoint animations can be instantly recorded by pressing on the Animation toolbar, and then
navigating through the model. Alternatively, you can build viewpoint animations frame by frame (viewpoint
by viewpoint) on the Viewpoints control bar, and then use it to save, edit, rearrange and manage your
viewpoint animations in folders, including inserting cuts and dragging and dropping viewpoint animations
onto other animations to build up a more complex viewpoint animation from simpler ones. At any time
during an animation playback, you can stop the viewpoint animation and have a real time look around
before restarting it. Once you are happy with the viewpoint animation, you can export it as an .avi file.
It is worth remembering that you can hide items in viewpoints, override colors and transparencies and set
