Waypoints
==================================

Waypoints and the Waypoint Manager are extensions and extend the Omniverse Experience by allowing users to Create and Save "Waypoints" and review them any time.  


Waypoints
--------------------
Waypoints store everything about a view. From location and camera settings to the render mode and render settings... everything.  By storing these waypoints in a list, users can easily store and save favorite shots.  Later, they can be returned to quickly and easily.

To interact with waypoints, locate the Waypoint Icon in the Top of the Viewport Window.
