The Snapshots and Views menu contains the saved view settings. For projects synchronized from the ARCHLine.XP CAD/BIM design program and the SketchUp 3D design program, the already saved views are automatically displayed in this bar. In addition to imported views, it is also possible to save new views and delete any existing view from the project.

Useful information

Each of the snapshots can be individually personalised. This means that individual camera properties , sun and weather settings can be assigned to each snapshot. By default, the snapshots are created with the camera properties and sun and weather settings set in the model at the time of creation. These can be changed afterwards, and then by clicking on the Update current snapshot or Update all snapshots button, you can update the images saved in the computer's library.

The output quality of the images can be changed in the settings.

You can copy the camera properties of the current snapshot to all views with a single click. In this case, the snapshots saved in the computer's library must be updated to reflect the changes in the saved images.

When you delete views that have already been saved, only the views in the project are deleted, the last state of the image saved on the computer is still available from the project folder.
