Save Viewpoints

RockPlot3D | View | Add View

RockPlot3D offers a number of pre-set positions from which to view your image. In addition, you can specify your own custom view, and you can interactively set a viewpoint using the rotation, pan, and zoom tools.

You can use the View | Add View menu option to save the current viewpoint in the current scene, for later retrieval. The viewpoints are listed in the Views grouping in the data tree. You can store as many viewpoints as you like.
