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. Holding down the CTRL 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) the element, or clicking it and pressing F2.
