Can 3ds max remember (somehow) the position of last perspective view?
polycounter lvl 9
Im modeling or smt in max, using only 1 enlarged viewport (ALT+W). I switch ths one viewport when i need it to using keyboard shortcuts from left, front, top, perspective etc. (L,F,T,P)...
What i realized just now (after using max for years :-) š) that it would be good if the perspective viewport could remember its position when i switch back to it...
Example - im modeling from perspective view, rotating it around (using ALT+middle mouse button) and zooming it in/out (using mousewheel or CTRL+ALT+press middle mouse button and move mouse up or down) to get a view i need. Then i switch to TOP mode (keyboard T) and move it around looking at the top when i need to. THEN i press P to switch back to perspective view... But the perspective view is now NOT in the last position when it was when i left, but its somewhere else (in this example usually somewhere close to mimicking the top view)... Is there a way so when i switch back to perspective view it wil stay where it was the last time i left it...?
Sure i can use/create cameras (CTRL+C) but thats just not it... additional time, additional clicks, you clutter your scenes with it, you would have to switch back to perspective mode/view (from camera view) for the ease of movement etc...
Is there some settings, some "hidden" checker box, some method, or some script that would allow me this, switch back to perspective view with its last position (when i left the perspective view last time)...? Ideally (but thats not that important) it could be under its own "command" (keyboard shortcut), so the "old" perspective view would still work the old way when i need it (But this is not that important)...
Is there some way how to do it...?
(If not, would it be difficult) to create a script for this?
