    Why does my view shift in a saved scene?

      I am using SU 7. When I save a scene for some reason it will shift in or out from time to time. This is frustrating because I rely on the scene being consistent for overlaying images I export.

      What causes this?

          Does saving it to Scene Tab help keep consistency ?
          So for example if the view zooms slightly does clicking on the Scene Tab restore it to where it should be ?
          Are you using a mouse or a tablet ?
          Are you doing anything in particular when the view changes 'on its own' ?

            I may be doing something unknowingly. I am defining a scene tab and then using it for an extended period of time switching back and forth to diffent tabs. Then at some point I will go back to the saved tab and the saved setting has changed slightly. It zooms in or out just very slightly.

            I am using a mouse.

              Do you resize the SUp window ?
              Safest to use it full-size ??

                Thank you TIG! It was as simple as that. A tool bar moved and it resized the SU viewing area. Not realizing this, I kept doing to myself! I appreciate the help! 😍

                  The simplest solutions are often the hardest to find ! πŸ€“

                    Even changing the Toolbar icon size will affect the viewport.
                    I always ensure that I only have one row of small icons in my view - I'm kind of stuck with it due to the number of projects set up to match SU output and render output.
