Scene

The Scene field in the toolbar lists predefined scenes that have been specified in the application that published the model.

Primarily a scene defines the camera location, but also other settings such as lights, camera properties, a clip box area, and hidden objects. It could be that all scenes use the same settings and only the camera location changes, or all scenes could be using the same location and only the settings are different. The scene name is preceded by scene type: Model, Personal or Project.

  • You can create a new scene in the current location simply by typing the scene name in the Scene field and pressing Enter. The custom scenes are stored in the eShareserver for the current user.
  • You can create a new scene that contains a clip box. First create the clip box, and then with the clipping still enabled type the scene name in the Scene field and press Enter. The clip box is saved in the scene and displays when you open the scene.
  • The scene saves the coordinate system in use and will change the coordinate system when the scene is opened, if the currently active coordinate system is different.
  • You can delete a scene by selecting it from the list and pressing Delete. You are prompted to confirm the action.
  • Settings for scene saving can be configured in Other options.
