Viewpoint

The Viewpoint module presets key observation points and automatic flythrough paths in the scene. Three types: Guided Tour / Flythrough Path / Area View.

Note: Viewpoint data is incompatible with older versions. If a project contains old viewpoint data, it cannot be read and must be recreated.
