Apply Snapshot Elements

When you create a snapshot, you have captured and saved certain elements in your view, such as camera angle, visibility, materials and transformation. With the Apply Snapshot Elements option, those saved elements from a snapshot can be applied to your current view.

To Apply Snapshot Elements

  1. Go to the Snapshot panel
  2. Pick the Apply Snapshot Elements option, and select the Elements to be applied
  3. Choose one or more of the available elements: Camera position, Cross Section, Material Overrides, Selection, Transforms, and Visibility                                                                                                                      
  4. After choosing which elements you would like to use, pick Apply to have those elements applied to your current view.

                   

Snapshot Elements:

  • Camera: The camera position from the snapshot will be applied to the current view.
  • Cross Section: The cross section from the snapshot will be applied to the current view.
  • Material Overrides: Any material override (color, transparency, and ghosting) will be applied to the current view.
  • Selection: Part(s) selection is applied to the current view.
  • Transforms: Any part transforms will be applied to the current view.
  • Visibility: The part visibility state will be applied to the current view.

Example: As a user, I have hidden several parts and applied a transform to a part and then taken a snapshot. Now I want to replicate the visibility state of parts from a saved snapshot. To do this, I would apply the Visibility from that Snapshot Element to my current view. I can then capture a new snapshot.
