Patchwork 3D Enterprise 2021.1 X5

Linking the Updates of the 3D Viewports

Accessible from: Matter : Viewport > Link

To facilitate the comparison of products spread among separate viewports from the same viewpoint (interactive comparison), the Matter module has a viewpoint synchronization mechanism. Thus, when the viewpoint of the active viewport changes, the other views are informed and can update their viewpoint under certain conditions:

None

No updating of the point of view between viewports.

Update all viewports to correspond to the point of view in the active viewport.

Model

Update all viewports containing products based on the same model. This way, all of the products obtained from that model are observed at the same angle.

Link Interactively

Enabled by default, this mode allows synchronized viewports to be updated while you are interacting with them.

However, for very heavy scenes, this interactive synchronization is detrimental to the smoothness of movement. When this option is disabled, synchronization is possible only at the end of a phase of interactive manipulation.
