Question:
Sometimes I need my model views to start at certain height. For example, I would like to have the default view to be created at 7200 mm in Z direction, but it always is set to 0 mm (the same level as model origin). How to set the default model view Z position to any given value?
Answer:
In order to do this you need to manually edit the standard.mvi file and set following lines to desired view height:
v1_coordinate
v1_z1
v1_z2
v1_z3
See example picture:

In this picture, the new default view height coordinate is set to 7200 mm. After that, you need to put this standard file for example in Firm/Project folder so that new model would use it as a standard settings for new model views.
