Christiaan Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 When switching from Top/Plan view to the Flyover Tool I'd like it to default to: 1. Perspective view, uncropped 2. OpenGL (or I'd like a preference option that lets me make these the defaults) Quote Link to comment
0 Christiaan Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Just like to point out that Saved Views isn't even an effective work around for this because you can only save the entire view orientation. You can't save the projection separately. Quote Link to comment
0 Kevin McAllister Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hi Christiaan, Here is a Menu Plugin script I made that does what you want. I added it to my workspace at the top of the right click context menu. It switches to un-cropped perspective and renders in OpenGL. Kevin Quote Link to comment
0 Christiaan Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Top man, thanks Kevin. What a life saver! Works like a charm. If anyone needs to know, just drop Kevin's plugin in your VW plugin folder then edit your workspace to add "Perspective View" to your View menu. Quote Link to comment

Newbie Question: I manage to add "Perspective View" to my View menu, but switching from Top/Plan view to Flyover Tool, it is still defaulting to "Unified View" and "wireframe". Am I missing something? Vectorworks Architect 2013 SP4 + Renderworks OS X 10.8.3 Quote Link to comment

Is there any way to make it default to Narrow perspective? Quote Link to comment
0 Kevin McAllister Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hi Christiaan, Sorry to be so slow with this request. Here's a version that sets the perspective to narrow. It took a bit of trial and error because the VS documentation is not super clear. Cheers, Kevin Quote Link to comment
