What is a View?
Views are saved “screenshots” of your project.
Each View consists of:
- A name for the View
- A map camera position (zoom, bearing, pitch, center)
- An image. By default, the image is a screenshot of the map when the View was created, and it can be changed to any image by uploading a file of your choice.
- A capture of the state of the map's layers (shown in the left bar).
You can use Views to:
- Create Working views - if you prefer to have different map, solar, and visual settings for working on different parts of your project
- Create and Manage Options - Turn layers on and off in different Views to cycle through options
- Simulate the passage of time - create views that represent project phases. Review the resultant Urban Calculations as you phase through the project.
- Tell the story - Step stakeholders through your project, showing different layers, angles, or times of day in each view
