The DANGERS of Orbiting Your LayOut Viewport

[@INFI8NITI8]

[@CrustySVK]

I think, if software doing this, it should warn you!

As always thank you for a great presentation on working in SU and LO . This was strictly a what not to do video ? I can appreciate that. Is there any useful purpose at all of changing the view in the layout view ? This orbiting function seems to be a trap to lure you into a problem.🐒

It's useful for a "quick and dirty" solution (1:41). However, you could start to run into undesired outcomes once your documents get more complex.

I dont really follow these guidelines. In fact, for a plan view I will click into the viewport just to brake the connection to the camera position saved to the scene. But I never Reset the viewport, unless I want to change the scope of what's being shown. That way I can be sure the scene ALWAYS stays the same, even if updating the scene in sketchup have it saved with a different panel /zoom level or position on screen . If I reset the viewport by mistake I can just undo. But if the scene in sketchup is updated with a different camera setting, there's no going back. So break free from the camera position of the scene, is my motto.
