When I set the a new view plane, the viewport switches directly to that new view, which can be disorienting to the user. I was thinking it would be nice to do some kind of animation flyby to get to the new view. Is there a simple way to do this?
Thanks,
Sam
I don’t know of a “simple” way of doing this. But it is certainly do-able.
The NamedView command has an Animation option that you can use when restoring. RhinoCommon’s NamedViewTable allows you to restore views in animated mode. Search the online help file for RestoreAnimated.
Beyond this, you’ll need to cook something up yourself.
Thanks Dale,
I’m trying to understand the RestoreAnimated command. The first item that gets passed to it is an integer, I’m assuming this is the index of a view? The second item is a view. I’m not sure if these somehow fit into what I was imagining this command would do: Restore a view to a previously saved view.
I can’t imagine the below is remotely correct for doing what I want to do, but just trying to start somewhere…
Dim PerspectiveViewIndex = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.NamedViews.FindByName(“Top”)
Dim Result = doc.NamedViews.RestoreAnimated(PerspectiveViewIndex, Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.Views.ActiveView, False, 10000, 1)
Also, while trying to dig up some info, I came across this post that said restore was not working. I’m hoping this isn’t a problem for the restore animated command.
Can you please point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Sam
That is sleek! Exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks,

The page for this 404’s
It this still active/available somewhere.
I frequently use (shift+ctrl) + right mouse to snap the camera to a parallel view of top, right, front…etc in the perspective viewport. I would really like to check this out.
When I break parallel view with the same method it is hit or miss where the camera will be pointing and how far away it it from the target when entering or exiting snapped parallel and perspective view.
