Viewpoints

A viewpoint is a place worth standing, kept by name: where the camera is and where it looks. Walk to a spot you like in the immersive view, save it, and the project gains a set of places to go back to; a person you send the link to can move between them instead of finding their own way around.

Saving one

In the immersive view (3D Immersive in the top bar), the button under the navigation pad names the viewpoint you are standing at, or says "Free view" once you have moved. Open it: the form takes a name, the field of view and the eye height, and Save keeps the view where you stand. Leave the name empty and the viewpoint names itself.

Standing at a viewpoint, the same button says Update: the viewpoint takes your new name, place and gaze. A name another viewpoint already wears asks before replacing it.

Under the form, every viewpoint of the project: click one to go there, the one you stand at is highlighted, and each has its bin. Someone who opens the viewer link gets the list alone, and no button at all when the project has no viewpoint.

On the plan

Each viewpoint is drawn on the plan as a small grey camera glyph, without its name; point at it and its field of view opens as a blue cone. It can be dragged there like any object; selected, it shows a handle for the angle and one for the rotation, and its panel sets its name, rotation, field of view and eye height.

The arrow beside the zoom pill of the plan holds the same form, under Fit to screen and Recenter the camera: it saves where the person stands on the plan, or updates the viewpoint they stand at.
