Camera pop-up menu
The Camera pop-up menu, located in the upper-left corner of the Canvas, lists the active camera
view. Choose from a list of reference cameras and scene cameras. This menu also contains several
view-related commands.
The Camera pop-up menu is divided into three sections:
•
The top section lets you select the active camera as well as any other scene cameras you’ve
added to the project. If a scene contains more than one camera, the topmost camera in the
Layers list at the current frame in the Timeline is the active camera. For more information on
scene cameras, see
on page 928.
•
The middle section lets you select a default reference camera: Perspective, Front, Back, Left,
Right, Top, or Bottom.
Note: The Left, Right, Top, and Bottom camera views are orthogonal views. You cannot
animate or export these views.
•
The bottom section allows access to five frequently used commands: Reset View, Select
Active Camera, Fit Objects Into View, Frame Objects, and Focus on Object. For details on these
commands, see the 3D View section in
on page 106.
3D View tools
The 3D View tools control reference and scene cameras.
The scene camera indicator appears at the left of the 3D View tools when a scene camera is the
active camera.
