Scenes

The Scenes button opens a list of scenes available to the user. The available scenes can be:

  • Model scenes, which have been specified in the application that published the model.

  • Project scenes added by a project administrator and shared to all project users.

  • Personal scenes added by the current user for private use.

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.
