Perspective view in Project not showing complete scene

The Perspective view in my Project doesn't work the way other tutorials that I have watched. Here is a screen grab of two viewer windows to show what I mean.



Other demos and tutorials show the complete scene (drop zones, camera, etc)

When you click on Perspective, you're moving outside of your project, and the cameras you placed will not be used. Two different tools.


  • Perspective View — Displays the scene from a fixed viewpoint, helping users visualize spatial relationships without the constraints of a specific camera.
  • Camera View — Shows the scene from the perspective of a selected camera, allowing for specific framing and adjustments.
  • Animation Flexibility — Camera views can be animated to create dynamic movements, while perspective views are static.
  • Exporting — To export a project from a specific angle, a scene camera must be used, which is not necessary in perspective view.

That is exactly what I want. I want to be able to view my entire project with all the spatial relationships. But, that is not what I am getting. I am only seeing perspective from the camera (only have one.) So, what setting do I need to change? And it can’t just be selecting “Perspective” in the drop down menu because that does not work.
