I’m sorry McNeel folks. Named views just aren’t cutting it. First, it’s very foreign. Since it’s not an object, it has it’s own challenges. Like, you can’t select your “camera” and edit properties while your in the top view, for instance. Because it will show you the properties of the top view, eve…

OK- so you can edit a named view using a “Named view widget”. In the Named Views panel, select a view and check the “Show named view widget” checkbox - you will get a camera you can edit, and you will be directly editing the named view. So in other words - we have cameras. You just have to turn …

Hi Andy, No problem! [image] kalamazandy: One of the very confusing parts of that, other than that not being obvious when you’re working on it, is that you now have a viewport named the same as a named view, but it’s not actually the SAME as the named view, until you save it again. At least…

Well that’s an improvement. But my point in this is really, if there is a feature that many people aren’t using because the usability isn’t ideal, then it should be addressed if it can be. Most people I know just ignore cameras in Rhino completely, and set them up elsewhere. These are the only cas…

Lots of people use Named views. I see models come in here all the time with a lot of named views in… And I also get comments and requests for named views all the time…so clearly people are using them.

Which part of the usability isn’t “ideal” in your point of view? What is it about the way Named Views functions right now that makes it difficult for you to use? Ideally your answer would not be “because it’s not like package X Y or Z”

“See” and “Adjust” you already have. Turn on the named view widgets for the views you want to see and adjust from the Named Views panel. Copying doesn’t work though. Although you can duplicate a named view from the panel, turn on the widget and off you go.

The details view request makes sense to me. https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-60514 Otherwise…you can turn all of the cameras on for all of the named views and modify them in the scene to your heart’s content. What am I missing?

I would love to have the ability to see, adjust, and copy multiple cameras in a scene as an object. It would great to have this work with detail views in layouts, too. This touches on the discussion in this thread.
