kwhitt Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I've got a layout and on page 1 I want to show a camera view of the existing backside of the house. On page 2 I want to show a camera view of my proposed changes. Both cameras are generated from separate .plan files. There needs to be some stretching and resizing to get the view to fit the layout properly. I cannot figure out how to have both camera views show at the same size and in the identical place, however on two different pages of my layout - a sorta before and after that aligns perfectly when flipping through the pages. I prefer to use plot lines so that I can touch up, but is this making it impossible to do? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwhitt Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Oh, and I've named both cameras the same in each plan, so that I can re-link - doesn't work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwhitt Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Yes, they are identical in both plans. One is the As-built and the other, the proposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwhitt Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Now I did change the original settings for the cameras after both files were created by changing them to a vector render. Could this have thrown things off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwhitt Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Thanks Eric. I'm still working on it, but believe I must have used "save as" in the past for the camera view, so I'm going back to my originals and duplicating them, so I don't lose the color info. Then I use the original camera views and as you suggest, change to vector among other settings. Thanks again for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwhitt Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 @solver Encountered another issue - if I scale or adjust the layout box in any way, when I relink to the 2nd file, the scaling doesn't stick. Any ideas for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwhitt Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 @solver It works okay if I scale uniformly holding down the X key while pulling on a corner. If I move anything out of scale it won't translate to the new view. What a pain this has been! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Step 2, ctrl-c the camera from as-built then ctrl-alt-v in the new plan. Send both to layout. If you're gonna crop them in layout...crop them the same. Easy-peasy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realize you could copy/paste a camera view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
