Point of View

The Point of View tool in RIM-Nat allows you to save a specific camera position in the 3D scene, making it easier to navigate between different points of interest or key perspectives. Each viewpoint is represented by a visual marker in the scene, which can be used to relocate the camera to the same position for future visits.
