Is there a way to lock viewport in max?

[carlotristan3d]

I'm rendering elevations, they are quite long and I'm rendering it piece by piece then comp in PS. what I'm hoping to do is lock the viewport, render a part then, unlock then pan to the next portion. i want to lock it so that i don't accidentally zoom, cause that would mess the scale when i combine it in ps.

thanks.

I'd put a long lens camera miles away from the subject then render the whole thing at once. You'll have a little perspective but it will be barely perceptible. Save you a bunch of time in post too.

The thing is I already have a baseplate, I just accidentaly scrolled and that changed the zoom factor-managed to scale it in ps though. I was hoping there's a similar command like vp lock in autocad.

I would have 2 views showing - elev & plan. Stay ONLY in plan view. Then you can move the camera and target by plugging in numerical "X" value increments. No need to even touch the mouse for moving. You can also save each camera movement into a different separate file to simplify things.
