Inset view
When you move an object in a 3D project, an Inset view appears in the lower-right corner of the
Canvas, showing the scene from a different camera’s point of view. If you are viewing the scene
through the active camera, the Inset view shows the Perspective camera’s point of view. If you
are viewing the scene through any other camera, the Inset view shows the active camera. Use
the Inset view to see the results of changes that you make in orthogonal views.
Use Motion Preferences to set the Inset view’s size and when it appears in the Canvas.
