Viewport Presets – Documentation

Overview

Getting Started

The Viewport Presets panel is located in the top-right corner of the 3D Viewport.

What Gets Saved?

Each preset stores the following viewport settings:

🔹 Overlays & Shading – Grid, wireframes, x-ray, face orientation, and more.
🔹 Visibility & Selectability – Object visibility toggles, outliner settings, and selection locks.
🔹 Gizmos & Navigation – Transform gizmos, navigation controls, and interaction settings.

Where Are Presets Stored?

Presets are saved in a JSON file at the following location:
📂 C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.2\config

This means your presets persist across Blender sessions and can be backed up or transferred if needed.
