Weekly WYSIWYG: Scenes

1775

A tool that I find extremely useful when drafting multiple views inside of WYSIWYG is the Scenes function.  The tool itself looks like this:

and the dialogue box associated with the Scenes function looks like this:

Basically, the Scenes tool is like layer management, and is used to put together groups of layers for different functions.  For example, when I am putting together a set of presentation drawings, I will have different scenes set up to control the look of views like longitudinal section, front elevation, and other views I feel are necessary for the drawing.  Being an AutoCAD user, layers are something that I use quite frequently, and my drawings are always divided so tightly into layers that managing a drawing is easy.  I typically draft with notes and items spread across all three axes – X, Y, and Z – that I need a way to quickly turn off certain layers to have custom views.

Check it out – try setting up some different scenes and find your own functionality with the tool.
