View Controls

Bryce lets you view your scene from several preset positions: Top, Front, Side, Bottom, Right, Left, and Back. All these views, with the exception of the Perspective View, are special Orthogonal projections which allow perspective-free views well-suited for alignment operations. Refer to "Orthogonality and Views" for an explanation of how and why Bryce uses Orthogonal projections.

The Select View controls are an interactive way of cycling through the various preset views. The current position of the Select Views control indicates the view you're seeing in the Working window.

To switch views using the Select Views control, click or drag the Select Views control until you reach the view you are looking for. Every time you click the control, Bryce displays a different preset view (see images below).
To switch views using the Select Views control menu, click the triangle icon next to the Select Views control and select a view option:

Director's View: select this option to view your scene from the perspective of a director sitting outside the scene.
Camera View: select this option to view your scene as the Camera sees it, based on the Camera's current location and orientation.
From Top: select this option to view a perspective-free orthogonal projection of your scene as seen from above (based on absolute world coordinates).
From Right: select this option to view a perspective-free orthogonal projection of your scene as seen from the right (based on absolute world coordinates).
From Front: select this option to view a perspective-free orthogonal projection of your scene as seen from the front (based on absolute world coordinates).
From Left: select this option to view a perspective-free orthogonal projection of your scene as seen from the left (based on absolute world coordinates).
From Back: select this option to view a perspective-free orthogonal projection of your scene as seen from behind (based on absolute world coordinates).
From Bottom: select this option to view a perspective-free orthogonal projection of your scene as seen from below (based on absolute world coordinates).

Reset Views: select this option to reset all views to their default settings.

You can also reset the views by pressing Opt/Alt and clicking on the Select Views control.

To switch views using the keyboard, select a preset view shortcut:

Director's View = ~
Camera View = 1
Top View = 2
Right View = 3
Front View = 4
Saved views = 5 through 9
