Saved Views (Decoration Service)

[TJ-OVERSITE]

Looking to introduce a saved view feature that allows users to capture a specific moment in time and scene, including optional markups for discussion.

These saved view markups would be tied only to that exact view (time and location). When returning to the saved view, the markup is visible; however, it does not persist in the broader scene. Any change in time or position will cause the markup to disappear, as it is effectively attached to the captured camera/viewpoint.

Is there any production of these services in Unreal Engine Itwin Plugin

Hello, I discussed this with Camille yesterday:
You can create iTwin Saved Views using the plugin, but there is no generic storage functionality to attach custom data to it.
The plugin has the AITwinAnnotation actor class that we use in iTwin Engage for purposes that sound somewhat similar to yours, and are saved in the decoration service. But they are linked to a Scene so I don't know if they can be loaded in practice in a plugin context, as they have never been tested there. Also, annotations do not save the schedule time and remain in place when you move the camera (they are attached to a physical location) or change the schedule time.
So clearly not a production feature that we can recommend for the time being I'm afraid.

I see that saved views have a list of "free" tags, and they do capture the schedule time (as well as any customized visibility state, when created in BIC or iTwin Engage).
