Duplicate a View

1

We’re working with a scene that has a lot of hidden objects, is there a way to duplicate a view without having to re hide all the hidden objects each time?

Perhaps copy code in a specific file to duplicate a view?

Also what’s the email address for support? Looking to get some assistance on this project in regards to a feature request, but it’s best if I show you what we’re trying to do and I don’t want to make it public just yet. :slight_smile:

If you’re willing to edit the scene.json file (after making a backup:) ) this should work:

  1. Let’s assume your oiriginal view is named A.
  2. Add a new view B.
  3. Open the formatted version of the scene.json file: http://localhost:5000/scenes/SCENE-NAME/scene.json?pretty and save the formatted file in the scene directory, overwriting the original one (unformatted).
  4. Open scene.json in a text editor (for example: Notepad++).
  5. Look for the "views" object and write down ids for A and B.
  6. Search for all occurencces of the "hideInViews" array. If the array has A’s id, please add B’s id after a comma.

support@shapespark.com is one of our support channels. If you have a question about a scene that you cannot show publicly, feel free to use this email address.

Is it possible to have this added as an option the UI in the next update?

This sounds like a nice feature. We’ll add it, but not sure if we’ll manage to include it in the next release.
