Create Modified Scene

3. Create a modified scene by showing or hiding objects in the Project Tree, and then click Compare.

4. When the snapshot is generated, use the following controls:

§ Mode selection – Selects the slider control mode. Choose between four clipping modes (right-left, left-right, top-bottom and bottom-top) and Transparency mode.

§ Slider control – Defines the clipping or transparency level extent. Slide the slider all the way to the left to completely show the first snapshot, and all the way to the right to completely show the second one. As the slider moves between these extremes, the first snapshot is gradually clipped or opacity decreased to reveal the second one.
