Working with viewpoints

Learn how to add, view and delete personal viewpoints in a model.

Viewpoints are like personal bookmarks within a model or collection of models that show views you can come back to in the future. They can be private, but you can also share them either everyone on a project, or everyone in your organization.

Adding a viewpoint

  1. Load the models you want to view.
  2. Navigate to the area you’re interested in.
  3. When you’re happy with the location, select Add > Viewpoint.
  1. Enter a title.
  2. Select how you want to share the viewpoint:
    • Do not share
    • Share with everyone in my organization
    • Share with everyone on this project
  3. Click Create.

Tip!

You need the following permissions to see the Share with everyone on this project option:

  1. If you selected Share with everyone on this project you can chose to share either the viewpoint or all of the models currently visible in the viewer.

    • Share model views with everyone on this project – this shares all the models currently open in the viewer.

    • Do not share model views – this only shares the viewpoint: it does not share the models currently open in the viewer.

  1. To see your new viewpoint, select Viewpoints.

Deleting a viewpoint

  1. Click the i icon on the viewpoint you want to delete.
  2. Click the bin icon to delete the viewpoint.
