Viewpoints in Render Mode - Procedures

Render viewpoints can be easily created from the Toolbar across the top of the rendered view. They can use the default naming convention or can be named as you like. They can be updated at anytime or deleted. Once added, all viewpoints will appear in the viewpoint pull-down list on the toolbar for easy access. Select a viewpoint from the list to instantly change the display.

To Add a Viewpoint

• To add a new Viewpoint to the list, enter a name in the field to the left of the Add button, and then click the Add button.
• The default name is RenderViewpoint_1. If that name is acceptable, simply click the Add button.
• Navigate to the next position you wish to save as a Viewpoint, and either click the Add button again (the name will be incremented) or enter a new name and then click Add.
• The Viewpoint names will populate the list in the Viewpoint field (left-most field on the Viewpoint toolbar) and be sorted alpha-numerically.

Defined Viewpoints

• The left-most field in the Viewpoints toolbar shows the name of the current Viewpoint.
• To return to a previously saved Viewpoint: Click the down-arrow next to the Viewpoint field to see the entire list. Click on the desired Viewpoint.
• If you navigate to a different position from there, the Viewpoint will be set to a "pending" or unsaved state, and the name will have *** preceding it. Example: ***RenderViewpoint_1. This new position may be saved as a new Viewpoint by clicking on the Add button to use the default name, or entering a new name and then clicking on the default button.
• The left and right arrows in the Viewpoint toolbar enable you to scroll through the Viewpoints list. If on the list name in the list, scrolling forward takes you to the beginning of the list. (The list wraps.)
• To delete a Viewpoint from the list: Select that Viewpoint from the list, and then click on the Delete Viewpoint button. The current Viewpoint is deleted, and the next one in the list is then displayed. This makes it easy to delete several Viewpoints in a row if desired.
• To change a defined Viewpoint to be something different, first select the Viewpoint name from the list. Next, navigate to the desired position. Finally, click on the Update Viewpoint button.

General notes

• Saved Viewpoints are not backwards compatible (will not be recognized if the AGI file is opened in a version of AGi32 prior to v18.1).
• If opened in an opened in a version of AGi32 that is older than v18.1, the Viewpoints will be lost.
• Viewpoints are automatically gathered by Report's Create Report command, or may be added to an Imageport in Reports.
