Storing View Button on single window in onPC

I was also wondering how to get different View buttons on each display. I can't wait to hear. As a work around for the moment I'm just hiding the view buttons and placing my own view pool on each page, not a very good solution since it you need to manage it between all your views but it works for testing.

I think I can answer your second question about 3D Camera tracking if I am understanding it correctly.

To have the any 3D view track the selected camera swipe down on the Camera button on the top right of the 3D view then select <Link Selected> this will cause any 3D view to track whatever Camera is selected. If you wanted a different camera pool to control a specific 3D view I'm unsure about that.

In regards to views and viewbuttons, they work like MA2. What may be tripping you up here is that in a new show the same set of predefined view objects are assigned to the viewbuttons on each screen, so if you overwrite one of the predefined views you will be making that change on all screens (since they're all referencing the same view object). If you delete the predefined views from the viewbuttons (just removing the assignment, not actually deleting the views themselves unless you also want to do that) you'll be able to store views / assign to those viewbuttons independently on each page.

In regards to 3D cameras, this has changed slightly from MA2. In MA2, moving around in 3D or the Stage View automatically shifted the position actually stored in the Camera object. This made it super annoying if you wanted to return to the original position (you'd have to copy the Camera object and then modify the copy or something along those lines). In MA3, the new position is not actually stored in the Camera object until you tell it to be. So Rex, when you're moving around in one 3D window, you're not actually changing the position of the Camera object, so the other 3D windows aren't moving along with you. Only when you store the new position into the same Camera object (or store a new Camera object and select it) will all your other 3D windows move to the new position. And if you instead want to return to the original camera angle after moving around you can simply tap on the Camera object again to reassert those settings, or press the {Reload Camera} button from the 3D toolbar on the left (2nd button down, looks kinda like a camera).

Thanks so much for answering that, now I understand as well.

I guess the confusing part is the fact they they are labeled like a pool item, when when you delete or update it the item is updated/delete from the other displays, looking like it's the same pool item. But like you say, when you store a new one it's specific to that display.

That's because it is a pool item. It works exactly like it does on MA2 - nothing changed here other than the fact that right now you can't see the View object's number or a screenshot/screen icons. In MA2 if you assign the same View to multiple viewbuttons and then store an adjusted view to one of those same viewbuttons, all other viewbuttons with the same view assigned call the new view. Just like in MA3.
