This page provides information about the create, select, and update view options in Enscape. Overview In Enscape it is possible to create and save pre-defined Views and then link those Views to a Settings Preset that have been  Saved to the Project . The basic procedure to create a view is: Choose the camera view position in the Enscape Viewport Position the sun (optional) Click the  Create View  button You will find the  Create View  button located in the  View Management  area of the Enscape Viewport toolbar. This means that you must have Enscape running and the Enscape Viewport in focus. If you want to delete a View then this must be done under the SketchUp Scenes panel. The View Management Panel Once you have clicked the  View Management  button, the associated panel will open where you will see a Search field, 2 View categories; Favorites and Untitled (the second being a dynamic category that is replaced with the open CAD project name), and the  Create View  button. Create View in Enscape You can create a View directly in Enscape or via Sketchup. What follows is the method for achieving this directly in Enscape, and the methods for achieving this in Sketchup You have decided on a position in your project you would like to create a View from.  Once you have also set any camera specific settings or  Visual Settings , including applying styles to the projects geometry in Sketchup, click the  Create  button. This will open the Create View panel where you will be prompted to provide the  CAD View Name , as well as optionally  Mark the View as a Favorite , and use the  Linked Visual Preset  option, which is discussed  here . You can also save the  Sun Position , as well as  Update the View  The later options can also be edited and applied at a later date. If you haven’t named the View, the  Create  button will not be available. So, name the View first which will allow you to click the Create button to save your first View in Enscape. Click the left pointing arrow / chevron located to the left of  Edit View  to go back to  View Management  panel.  Or, click the  X  to the right of Edit View to close down the  View Management  panel altogether. Create a View in SketchUp There are a couple of ways to create a View in SketchUp: In addition to being able to create a View within Enscape, you can also use the native SketchUp functions to create a new ‘Scene’ and it’s worth noting that when you create a new View in Enscape, that View is also available as a ‘Scene’ in SketchUp. Simply click the  + button in the Scenes section of SketchUp which will create a new ‘Scene’, which by default is named Scene 1, Scene 2, etc, depending on how many Scenes already exist within the project. When creating a view from within SketchUp, if the  Synchronize Views  is enabled, this will result in the vertical frustum of the camera being used. This information can also be seen in the  Enscape Visual Settings  next to the  Field of View  option. This vertical or horizontal frustum is then saved along with the View and will be respected, even when  Synchronize Views  is disabled when selecting the View from the  View Management  list at a later date. Select & Update a View in SketchUp Selecting a view in SketchUp is straight forward. Open  View Management  in Enscape and click on one of the named Views that you want to display in Enscape, as seen in the screenshot. Or, select the associated ‘Scene’ in SketchUp, either via the tabs, or via the Scenes panel. Updating a View / Scene is performed in SketchUp. Make sure to have  Synchronize Views  enabled to make this process easier. It’s also worth noting here that it’s via SketchUp’s Update Scene option that an Enscape View’s  Sun Settings  can be updated and saved to a View.
