PART 1B - SET THE SCENE IN SKETCHUP

1B-1

SAVE THE VIEW USING SCENE

Scene is a feature in sketchup which we use to save a
view from certain position. By saving a view in a scene,
we can fastly and precisely go back to specific views,
without the need to search it again. This feature is
important in rendering process with Vray, because we
can set several view and then save it in scene, so we can
have a set of view that ready to render anytime

Prepare the scene

Go to > view > animation > add scene

Left click at create scene box

You will see small rectangle above your work screen with scene 1 as the name If the
scene successfully created, you can rename this later.

Set another view, right click on previous scene name, and then choose add option to
add another scene

You can change the view on particular scene. First select the scene that you want to
change by left click at the name, change the view, right click on the name and then
choose update

Left click at show details icon to show up more option

1B-2

USING TWO POINT PERSPECTIVE MODE

To change your view into two point perspective mode, first prepare the view
that you want to convert to two point perspective, and then go to > camera >
two-point perspective

After you convert the scene into two point perspective, the
position of your view will change, you need to adjust it by
dragging the view.

Adjust your view by dragging it (remember do not use orbit, just

drag), and then add new scene to save the view
