Snapshots


 

Snapshots are quite similar to Frame Views in that they are both related to the display of the model. However, Snapshots are more powerful than Frame Views as they capture all the settings of the top bar and allow you to recreate a scene. Whereas Frame Views focus on displaying a range of members within a specified space defined by X, Y, and Z coordinate ranges i.e. there is no control over which top bar options are selected.
