Keep camera target when switching between plan view and perspective

Hello,

Is there a way to keep the camera target when switching between plan view and perspective?

When I work on the model in some CPlane, I often want to temporarily switch to the perspective view and then come back to the CPlane view

I use commands Plan and SetView _World _Perspective for switching between the views.

When I come back to the CPlane view, all I see is the CPlane origin zoomed in and my initial “area of interest” (camera target) is far away. I need to zoom out and then zoom in to go back where I was ( …annoying )

Thanks in advance
Aleksandar

Try “Linked views”. Options > Rhino Options > View

Hello David,

Unfortunately, it still misses the “target” after switching views.

Here are some more details on what/how I do the switching, maybe it has something to do with it:

  • I work in a single maximized viewport and I do the view switching via icons on the toolbars.

  • The model is huge (in dimensions, not in complexity) and CPlane origin is commonly far away from the actual part of the model I work on. I’m in shipbuilding and I “cut” the entire model at a certain plane and then work in that plane all over the model

  • The CPlane section is created with my own code ( C# rhinocommon )

At this point i would simply use two different viewports, one for working is section, another for the perspective.
otherwise it would be simple to create your own c# code to save the camera information every time you call it then switch to the either plan or perspective

Hello - you can change view projection without changing the camera location- is that what you need?

_-ViewportProperties _Projection _Perspective
