Saved views let you capture the exact state of your 3D model in the Speckle web viewer – including camera position, object visibility, filters, section boxes, measurements, everything. You can save, organize, and share these views to streamline collaboration and review.

​
Who can create saved views?

Saved views are available on all Speckle plans, including Free. Creating and managing views requires an Editor seat in your workspace and a Can edit project role or higher in the project. Learn more in Roles and Seats.

​
Creating views

  1. Adjust your model in the viewer as needed. Anything you configure and see in the viewer will be saved.
  2. Click the + button in the top of the Views panel. Alternatively, click the + button in the group you want to add the view to.
  3. Your saved view is created.

​
Edit views

Click the Edit icon on a view to edit its name, description and visibility. Many of these actions can also be done directly by clicking the options menu (···) on a view.

​
View visibility: Shared vs. Private

Views are shared by default, meaning anyone with access to the model or project will see them in the Views panel. If you want to keep a view private, you can change its visibility to private after saving. Private views are only visible to you, making them ideal for personal review or work-in-progress configurations. You can update a view’s visibility to private at any time from the Saved Views panel.

​
Replacing views

You can replace a saved view with a new one by clicking the options menu (···) on a view and selecting Replace view. This overwrites the view’s saved configuration.

​
Grouping views

Organize your saved views into groups for easier navigation and project management. Simply create a group, name it, and drag and drop views into it within the Views panel. Anyone who has permission to create views can also move and group views, including views made by other users.

​
Setting a home view

You can designate any shared saved view as the “Home view” for your model. The Home view acts as the default starting point when anyone opens the model in the viewer. To set a Home view, select a saved view and choose Set as home view from its option menu (···). You can share a direct link to any saved view by clicking Copy link from the options menu (···) on a view. This link allows anyone with access to the model to open the viewer directly at that specific view. Note that sharing a link does not change the visibility of the view – private views remain private, and shared views are only visible to users with project access.
