EntryPoint
An EntryPoint camera is the same as a normal trueSpace camera
trueSpace recognizes an EntryPoint camera by this name when loading a scene as an entry point into the scene and switches the 3D View to the EntryPoint camera
This camera is useful for truePlay scenes/Portals, but can also be used with scenes
If you rename the EntryPoint camera, trueSpace will not recognize it as an entry point and it will act as a normal trueSpace camera

Thanks. If you rename the normal camera to EntryPoint will it be used by truePlay?

Yes and it works for scenes too.
It is not just for truePlay
Does not work in Model as an entry point, but you can use Model's View from Object

Updates for Chapter 2, chapter 3 and chapter XX

Added entry point camera info, moved show/hide information and a little general cleanup. I've decided to settle on the arial font for all new content. Currently it has a random mixture of various fonts. The final UU docs chapters will be combined into one file so it can have internal links to the different sections. The shortcuts list will be a separate document like the quick guide.

I've been bouncing around the various chapters to get a basic skeletal structure worked out. A basic outline of all the info is in place now so.
The next step I think will be to work through the manual start to finish, filling in all the stuff I don't know, cleaning up and adding screenshots of the tools in action also maybe do some videos for the manual.

First pass of the shortcuts pages. I'll make it look pretty later. Data was copied from the "tS761 Workspace Shortcut List.rtf" file.

Today's update chapter 2 up to section 2.7.9, the help menu and includes the cleaned up shortcuts pages.
The synchronize pages may be obsolete soon. Have to wait and see.
