Using Bookmarks to Save Frequently Used Views

Bookmarks save your favorite views of the world so that you can return to them quickly. When you click a bookmark in the Bookmark window, the Design View (or the currently selected pane of the Design View) displays the world from the direction and distance saved in the bookmark.

The figure below shows bookmarks for a sample level.

 

For the sample level, the Overhead view shows the entire level. The other bookmarks are views of specific locations in the level.

You create bookmarks by navigating to the view you want, opening the Bookmarks window, right-clicking in the window and selecting Add Bookmark. The default bookmark name is “New bookmark,” which you can rename. To delete a bookmark, right-click the bookmark and select Delete.

Existing bookmarks cannot be edited: You create a modified version of a bookmark by modifying the view, then creating a new bookmark for that view.

 

To save the current view as a bookmark, right-click in the Bookmarks window and select Add Bookmark.

 

To rename a bookmark, click the bookmark’s name in the Bookmarks window, and then edit the name.

 

To go to the view saved in a bookmark:

  1. Select the Window > Bookmarks menu item to open the Bookmarks window.
  2. Click the bookmark to view.

 

To delete a bookmark:

  1. Select the bookmark.
  2. Select the Edit > Delete menu item.

Alternatively, you can right-click the bookmark and choose Delete from the contextual menu. Yet another approach is to select the bookmark and press the DELETE key.
