This page provides information about linking views to settings presets in Enscape.  Overview Any View that has been created and saved in Enscape can be linked to a  Settings Preset.   Not only does this allow you to quickly and easily recreate renderings as and when they are needed, but also provides a way to create project phasing presentations. A  Settings Preset  that is linked to a View will always take precedence over any current global  Visual Settings  values when rendering out that linked View, whether as a single image or via batch rendering. Create your Settings Preset As described in the  Settings Presets  article, you should create a new  Setting Preset  remembering to name it. Expand the Settings Preset panel Name the Settings Preset Then make any adjustments to the  Visual Settings , which will automatically be applied and saved to that  Settings Preset.  Here, we increase the Outlines value. Create your View If you have not already created a View you should do so now. This is done via the  View Management  panel in Enscape,  as explained in this article . Link your View Once you have created your View, make sure you are in the  Edit View  panel and click the  Linked Visual Preset  drop-down menu. Any  Settings Presets  you have created will be available for selection there. Linked Visual Preset dropdown menu You can unlink a  Settings Preset  by clicking on the small chain symbol next to the  Linked Visual Preset  dropdown menu. Unlink Linked Visual Preset button Once you click the  Save  button, you will be returned to the  View Management  panel where the View just linked is listed with the chain symbol to indicate a link exists. The View indicating it is linked to Settings Preset Render a Linked View Rendering a View that contains a link to a  Settings Preset  is then as simple as either selecting it in  View Management  and clicking the  Screenshot  button for a single image, or by marking it in the  Batch Rendering  list. Batch Rendering list dialog with selected View that contains the linked Setting Preset Potentially, a mixture of linked and non-linked Views can be batch rendered, with non-linked Views using the current  Visual Settings  and the linked Named Views using the linked  Setting Preset . The  Default Folder  option is also available for  Batch Rendering , and this means that when linking a View to a  Setting Preset  that has a different  Default Folder  specified, the associated location will be respected when  Batch Rendering  takes place, so your renders can be targeted to specific folders if desired. Automatic Naming  has no effect when  Batch Rendering , and the files are always named with the timestamp of when the image was rendered whilst also being appended with the name of that View. The  Show Safe Frame  option is always disabled when rendering via the  Batch Rendering  feature.
