Reset Viewpoints

You can reset your position in a scene to initial default or current viewpoint position

through the menu bar, toolbar, navigation panel, or keyboard shortcut keys.

• From the menu bar, use the Viewpoints menu Return to viewpoint option to

return to the initial position of the current viewpoint. Alternatively, from the toolbar,

select Return to viewpoint button to return to the initial position of the current

viewpoint.

• From the navigation panel, click the Go to default viewpoint control to return

to the default viewpoint of the virtual world. Alternatively, from the menu bar, use

the Viewpoints menu Go to Default Viewpoint option to return to the default

viewpoint of the virtual world.

• From the keyboard:

• Press the Esc key to return to the default viewpoint of the virtual world.

• Press the Home key to return to the initial position of the current viewpoint.

Define Viewpoints

You can add new viewpoints to the virtual world through the menu bar or toolbar. You

can start the simulation before creating viewpoints. This topic assumes that the model is

not currently running.

Select a Simulink 3D Animation example and type that example name in the

MATLAB Command Window. For example:

vrplanets

The Simulink model is displayed. Also, by default, the Simulink 3D Animation

viewer for that model is loaded and becomes active. If the viewer is not displayed,

double-click the VR Sink block in the Simulink model.
