Viewpoints

The Viewpoints module lets you preset key observation points and automatic roaming paths in the scene. Three types are supported: Tour / Roaming / Zone Viewpoints.

Note: Viewpoint data from previous versions is not compatible with the current version. If a project contains legacy viewpoint data, a warning will appear indicating the data cannot be read and must be recreated.

Render Video

After selecting a route, export the roaming path as a video file.

Note: The Render button is grayed out when no points have been added to the route.

Roaming in Preview Mode

• To pause: click the pause button
• Resume from breakpoint: after pausing, click play to continue from the nearest point
• Loop: automatically restarts from the beginning after the last viewpoint

Note: Roaming playback and annotation features are mutually exclusive; annotation functions are automatically disabled during playback.
