This page provides information on managing Views in Enscape.
## Overview
---
The **View Management** button () in the Enscape user interface opens the **View Management** panel. The panel handles creation, renaming, updating, and [linking of Views to a Visual Settings Preset](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ENSCAPE/pages/841056387). View deletion is performed in the associated CAD/BIM application.
A View can also be marked as a **Favorite**. Favorite Views are designed for use in both the [Enscape Virtual Reality Presentation Mode](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ENSCAPE/pages/841285637) and the [Enscape Standalone Executable](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/enscape/pages/841154791) files, and help both presenters and clients quickly navigate to pre-selected Viewpoints within a project.

### **Select and Update Views in CAD/BIM**
---
Each host application has its own workflow for selecting and updating views. Expand the relevant section below for step-by-step instructions.
Select and update views in SketchUp
Select the associated Scene through the tabs or the **Scenes** panel in SketchUp.
To update a View/Scene in SketchUp, enable the **Synchronize Views** to simplify the process. SketchUp's **Update Scene** option also updates and saves the Enscape View's [Sun Settings](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/enscape/pages/841416711) to the View.
Select the associated Scene through the tabs or the **Scenes** panel in SketchUp.
Select and update views in Revit
To display a View in the Enscape window, click its name in the list of Views in the **View Management** panel in Enscape or in the **Active Document** dropdown in Revit. The **Active Document** dropdown selects the View Enscape displays without leaving the Revit user interface, while Revit's **Project Browser** remains available for work in another View.
To update a View in Revit:
- Open the View from the **Project Browser** in Revit.
- Select **Unlock View** from the viewport menu in Revit.
- Make the changes, including adjustments to the **Sun Position**.
- Select **Save Orientation and Lock View** in Revit to update the View in both Revit and Enscape.
> ℹ️ A restart of Enscape might be required to see the changes, although the View generally updates without one.
**Using Revit's Live Camera**
The Revit Live Camera function helps with navigation and View setup in complex projects. To enable the camera, click the arrow on the **Synchronize Views** button in the Enscape ribbon in the Revit user interface, then select **Revit Live Camera**.
The following demonstration shows Enscape’s Revit Live Camera being activated and the movement being controlled in both Revit and in Enscape.
To deactivate the Revit Live Camera, click the **Revit Live Camera** button again to pause it, or click the arrow on the button and select **Synchronize Views** instead.
Select and update views in Rhino
Views in Rhino are selected from the Rhino **Named Views** dialog. Updates are performed in the Rhino **Named Views** dialog, where the view must be saved after updating.
Select and update views in ArchiCAD
A View in ArchiCAD is selected from the ArchiCAD **View Map** dialog.
When selecting the View from the View Map dialog, if **Synchronize Views** is disabled in Enscape, then only the Viewport in Archicad updates.
When the View is selected from the [Enscape ](#Select-and-Update-Views-in-Enscape)**[View Management](#Select-and-Update-Views-in-Enscape)**[ panel](#Select-and-Update-Views-in-Enscape) and **Synchronize Views** is disabled, Enscape pans smoothly between the Named Views, and the View ‘snaps’ to the selected View in the ArchiCAD viewport.
When **Synchronize Views** is enabled, the View ‘snaps’ in the Enscape window the same way it snaps in the ArchiCAD viewport.
To update a View in ArchiCAD:
- Make the adjustment to the View in ArchiCAD.
- Click the **View Settings** button
- In the **View Settings** dialog, click **Get Current Window's Settings** at the top.
- Click **OK**. The View updates in both ArchiCAD and Enscape.
Select and update views in Vectorworks
Once a View is saved, the View is available in both the Vectorworks **Saved Views** dialog and the Enscape **View Management** panel.
When the View is activated from Vectorworks and **Synchronize Views** is disabled, the View appears only in the Vectorworks viewport.
Otherwise, you can select it from the Enscape **View Management** panel.
To update a View in Vectorworks on **Windows**:
- Confirm that **View Management** is not open in the Enscape viewport.
- Open the **Saved Views** window in Vectorworks.
- Click the View you want to update to make it active.
- Make the required changes from within the Vectorworks viewport.
- Right-click the View in the **Saved Views** window in Vectorworks.
- Select **Redefine…** from the context menu and click **OK**. The View updates in both Vectorworks and Enscape.
To update a View in Vectorworks on **macOS**:
- Select the View from the **Saved Views** list.
- Make the required adjustments to the View. Open the **View** menu and select **Redefine**.
