  1. From the Scene Manager panel, click either:
    • Capture Into a New Scene to create a snapshot of the current state of the experience in a new scene. If dressups have been created, they are captured as well.
    • Create Empty Scene to create a snapshot in a new scene but without any dressup.
    A slide (that is, a snapshot) of the current state of the viewer is created. This slide contains a list of actors, their properties and visibility status. Each slide is identified by a thumbnail.

  2. Repeat this step as many times as necessary to create additional scenes.
  3. In the viewport, change the view, and then click Update Camera Position .
    The camera position in the current scene is updated accordingly.
  4. Click Switch to Edit Mode , and then click the white spot in the upper right part of the thumbnail.


  5. You can then:
    • Make some changes to the actors (remove, add, or modify some properties) then click Replace Scene : the scene is updated with the current changes.
    • Edit properties in the Properties panel. For instance, you can change the scene name or its visibility mode.
    • Click Delete Selected Scenes to remove the selected scenes. You can also press Shift to select multiple scenes. Make sure the scene is not activated (blue area on the left), otherwise the command has no effect.
  6. Click Exit Edit Mode .
  7. Click a scene to activate it.
    The 3D is refreshed to display the selected experience state. The selected scene is identified by a blue area on the left. Only one scene can be active at a time.

    When a scene is active, any change you make to the actors (for iexample, creation of a new dressup, or a change in some color properties) is automatically captured in the scene.



    Tip: When a scene is selected, you can rename it. To do so, click the scene name, enter the new name, and then press Enter.
  8. Optional: If the visibility has been modified for some items in the scene, click Restore Current Scenario Visibility from the Visibility section of the action bar.
    The original visibility is restored.
