On the Perspectives preferences page, you can manage the various perspectives defined in CityEngine.
- Open a new perspective—Use this option to set what happens when you open a new perspective. It is either opened within the current Workbench window or opened in a new window.
- Open a new view—Use this option to specify what happens when a new view is opened. It is either opened to its default position within the current perspective or it is opened as a fast view and docked to the side of the current perspective.
- New project options—Use this option to specify the perspective behavior when a new project is created. You can set it to switch the current perspective to be the one associated with the project type and open the perspective in the same Workbench window as the current one, switch the perspective and open it in a new Workbench window, or not switch perspectives at all.
- Make Default—Set the selected perspective as the default perspective.
- Reset—Reset the definition of the selected perspective to the default configuration. This option is only applicable to built-in perspectives that have been overwritten using Save Perspective As on the Layout menu under Window.
- Delete—Delete the selected perspective. This option is only applicable to user-defined perspectives (built-in perspectives can not be deleted).
