Linking Viewports
Access: Viewport menu > Link |
To facilitate the comparison of products shown in different viewports, Patchwork Explorer employs a method of synchronization of multiple viewports (interactive comparison). If this linking method is active, the observational point in the inactive viewports will be updated to correspond to any modifications to the observational point in the active viewport.
You can choose from different link modes:
Icon | Mode | Description |
|---|---|---|
| None | The observational point is never updated. |
| All | The observational point is always updated in all viewports. |
| Model | The observational point is updated in viewports with the same model. All of the products based on the same model are updated to be viewed from the same position. |
| Link Interactively | This option allows the observational point to be dynamically and instantaneously synchronized in accordance with the chosen link mode. |
For complex scenes, this interactive synchronization hinders the fluidity of movement. When the Link Interactively option is deactivated, the synchronization takes effect once the interactive phase of modification has ended.
Note
The default link settings use the Model mode and the Link Interactively option is deactivated.
