Enscape - Using Saved Views

Using Saved Views Between Rhino and Enscape

Saved views allow you to maintain consistent camera angles between Rhino and Enscape, making it easier to compare renders, revisit perspectives, and create animations.

Creating & Managing Saved Views in Rhino

Rhino allows you to save camera positions, which Enscape can also access.

Steps to Save a View in Rhino:

Navigate to a Desired Camera Angle

Use the Mouse & Navigation Tools to position the camera:

Right Mouse Button (RMB) → Rotate view

Shift + RMB → Pan

Scroll Wheel → Zoom

Save the View

Open the Named Views Panel by typing NamedView in the command line.

Click Save As and give the view a name.

Restore a View

Open the Named Views Panel.

Click on a saved view to restore the exact camera position.

Syncing Views Between Rhino & Enscape

To ensure that Rhino’s camera matches Enscape’s:

Open Enscape.

Click on the Synchronization Button in the Enscape toolbar.

This enables View Sync, linking Rhino's viewport to Enscape's render view.

If the render in Enscape does not update after hitting the Synchronization Button quit Enscape and then reopen it 

Shortcut: Use Ctrl + Shift + U to quickly toggle View Sync.
