As we look around the scene using these tools, we will hopefully find a number of
views that we like. As we do so, we will want to use the following steps to save each
of those scene views so that we can return to them at any time we like and take
renders from them:
1. Left-click on the
Window
menu found at the top of the SketchUp user inter-
face. In the drop-down list, left-click on the
Scenes
option.
2. In the dialog box, click on the plus sign to add a new scene. Be sure to give
each view a useful name and description.
Tip
If we need to make changes to our scene views at a later stage, be sure
to hit the
Update
button in this dialog box once the alterations are com-
plete so as to lock them into place.
Working with six new views
To see where my own view-finding experiments led me, open up the
Ch01_02_Views.skp
file from the
Exercise_Files
folder, where the views that
are available should match the screenshots that follow.
