Hi Michael,

I'm wondering: is there an option or script to store and restore a camera view (perspective or isometric) ?

I often model for one specific view angle, like for an illustration, making it very useful to be able to press a hotkey to return to a specific view angle and perspective FOV to check how it looks from the relevant side.

Thanks in advance for possibly considering this, if it isn't already possible.

Maybe this (it's not a store but...

Alternatively, go to Menu Options / 3D View Settings - Pitch - Azimuth - Roll - View

Thanks Pilou.

This workaround with manually copying and entering camera coordinates is too convoluted for me though. I'd need a simple hotkey or button to store a manually navigated custom camera view, then another hotkey or button to restore it.

Hi Metin,

Here are a couple of scripts that may be of help to you. PEER's NamedView in particular may be the better choice to get the hotkey behavior you are after.

Seems to me that is yet existing!
Michael or other will give you that!
before that make a shortcut to this

Camera&TargetPointToClipboard – it will copy the camera and target locations to the clipboard as a text string:

script:var v = moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D'); moi.copyTextToClipboard( 'Camera=' + v.cameraPt.toString() + '\r\nTarget=' + v.targetPt.toString() );

Similarly you can set the .cameraPt value to something to place the camera at a certain x,y,z location:

script:var v = moi.ui.mainWindow.viewpanel.getViewport('3D'); v.cameraPt = moi.vectorMath.createPoint(50.2, 30.5, 10.1);

Ps you have my little site for some other things but it's in French... :)

Thanks Larry and Pilou!

Love the always helpful MoI community. <3

Peer's version is exactly what I wished for, great!

Excellent a new one to translate in French...if possible! :)

Love your MoI site, Pilou. I know it for many years now, and it recently helped me refresh my "meMOIry". ;) You're doing a great job maintaining it. So much info, tips, explanations, animated GIFs.

It's my reminder! :) So no style only efficacity (for me) ! :)
