VIEWS AND VIEWPORTS • 23
Congure, Congure All
The following conventions apply when using the viewport settings:
 All options and parameters in bold are saved globally; they apply to all
views and will be used each time you restart CINEMA 4D, create a new scene
or open a le.
 All other options and parameters are saved in the scene le.
 Local options and local parameters affect the active view or selected views
only. You can select multiple views by Shift-clicking the views in the position
indicated by the mouse pointer in Figure 1. Multiple selected views have a
green frame.
Figure 1.
 The Congure All command selects all existing views. You can then edit the
settings of all views at the same time in the Attribute manager.
 You can make any parameter or option global or local. To do this, select the
element, right-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) on the element
and, from the context menu that appears (Figure 2), choose Make Parameter
Global or Make Parameter Local.
Figure 2.
Global denitions always override local denitions. For example, suppose you have disabled the global
Normals option to switch off the display of normals in the viewports. You then open a CINEMA 4D le
in which the Normals options is enabled locally. In this case, the normals won’t be displayed.
