Save layer combinations and camera positions using the View tool.

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
