Scenes

One move instead of many switches

Kugelblitz has many switches. A scene remembers under a name what is set in the sidebar – body, kind of map, day and night, sky, the map's themes – and brings it back in one move, instead of switching everything by hand.

In one move

The first nine scenes of the list are on ⌥⌘1 to ⌥⌘9. All of them are in the View menu under “Scenes” and in the window “Scenes” (⌥⌘S), where a double-click or ↩ applies a scene. The change happens at once, to another body too, and Edit → “Undo” takes it back.

Bolzano in the Adige valley on the road map with roads, their numbers and the lines of public transport in the valley — The same view in “In the City”

Included

Scene	What it sets
Blue Planet	Imagery with day and night and the lights at night
Orientation	Imagery with countries, regions, cities, waters and roads
Hiking	the topographic map with paths, hiking routes, huts, peaks and contour lines
In the City	the road map with stops, the lines of public transport, shops and buildings

They are scenes like any other: you can change, rename and delete them.

Your own scenes

Set in the sidebar what is to be seen and click “+” in the window “Scenes”. If you switch something afterwards, the scene applied last shows “changed”, with “Save Changes” and “Reset”. The order of the list decides the shortcuts.

What does not belong to it

Camera, moment and globe or atlas are not part of a scene: you stay where you are. If a scene changes the body, you arrive where you last were.
