The View Block is an interactive Block that enables users to capture, revisit, and share specific viewpoints within a Space.

How it Works

Let’s say you have a specific viewpoint of the User Camera onto the Content and Annotations in a space, and you want to capture and save this perspective to be able to revisit it at any later point in time. The View Block function is made for such a scenario.

Capturing a View

1. Select the space or content you want to add the view to.
2. Then, make sure you have positioned yourself, i.e., the user camera, at the position and orientation you want to capture relative to the selected content.
3. In the Inspector, choose View from the Add Block menu. On desktop, you can also right-click the selected element and choose Add Block > View.
4. LiquidEarth captures the current camera perspective and takes a snapshot of the 3D workspace to help identify the saved view.

Scale Capturing: Note that capturing a view will also save the transform scale used during capturing, meaning that when activating a specific view, the user will also switch to that transform scale. This can be useful, for example in cases in which certain observations are important to be viewed in their authentic scale (World Scale).

View Block Features

Once a view has been captured, several functions are available in the block panel:

• Edit: Change the name of the view.
• Go To: Move your camera to the saved position and orientation.
• Capture: Replace the saved viewpoint and snapshot with the current view.
• Summon: During an active Live Session, invite other participants to assume this view. See Summon Other Users.
• Show: Show or hide the view's 3D camera representation in the workspace.
• Sharing: Create a Public Sharing Link and QR code that lead directly to this view. Creating a View Block does not generate a link automatically.

Note: The saved Scale Mode also applies to users who are sent to a view through Summon Other Users.
