Once you have clicked the View Management button, the associated panel will open where you will see a Search field, 2 View categories; Favorites and Untitled (the second being a dynamic category that is replaced with the open CAD project name), and the Create View button.

You have decided on a position in your project you would like to create a View from.  Once you have also set any camera specific settings or Visual Settings, including applying styles to the projects geometry in Vectorworks, click the Create button. This will open the Create View panel where you will be prompted to provide the CAD View Name, as well as optionally Mark the View as a Favorite, and use the Linked Visual Preset option, which is discussed here. You can also save the Sun Position, as well as Update the View The later options can also be edited and applied at a later date.

If you haven’t named the View, the Create button will not be available. So, name the View first which will allow you to click the Create button to save your first View in Enscape.

Click the left pointing arrow / chevron located to the left of Edit View to go back to View Management panel.  Or, click the X to the right of Edit View to close down the View Management panel altogether.

In addition to being able to create a View directly in Enscape, it is also possible to create a View from within Vectorworks.

In Vectorworks navigate to the View->Save View option.

Once the Save View dialog opens in Vectorworks, name the View and save it. This window will also appear when creating a View natively in Enscape itself.

NOTE: The sun position is NOT saved with the view in Vectorworks, but you can still set the Time of Day by using Right Click+Shift+drag left/right, or the keyboard shortcuts.

Once a view has been saved, it will become available in both the Vectorworks Saved Views dialog, as well as the Enscape View Management panel.

If activating the View in Vectorworks, if Synchronize Views is not enabled, the View will only be shown in the Vectorworks’ viewport.

Otherwise, just select it from the Enscape View Management panel.

Here you can see the created view in both dialog windows.

To update a View, make sure View Management is not open in the Enscape viewport, .

• Open the Saved Views window in Vectorworks.
• Click on the View you want to update to make it active.
• Make the changes to the View that are required from within Vectorworks viewport.
• Right-click on the View in the Saved Views window in Vectorworks.
• Select the option Redefine… from the context menu, and click OK.

The View will then be updated in both Vectorworks and Enscape.

To update a view with a new position, click the Edit Button on the view you would like to update:

You should now see a section called Camera.  This is where you will have a section for the X, Y, Z , Orientation, Pitch and Yaw

*Pitch = degrees up and down

*Yaw is the degree in rotation

Once you start moving around in the Enscape window to the new desired position, you will see all these values updated.

*If you want to undo this, simply click the undo button and it will revert back to the original position.

Once you are happy with the new position of the view, simply click the Save Button at the bottom of the menu and the new changes will be reflected in Vectorworks as well.
