Blender 2.5 Featured Feature: “4-Split View”

4splitview

This has got to be one of the coolest little features being added into 2.5.  It’s called “4-Split View”.  In a nutshell, it takes a single 3D View and automatically splits it into the traditional 4 views (Top, Front, Right, and Camera).  To enable this, you use the Transform Property menu (accessed the same way as before with the N key), and then click on “4-Split View”.  It has 3 options: Lock, Box, and Clip.  “Lock” prevents you from changing the view perspective’s.  “Box” will auto align each window scale to match the others.  As of currently, I can’t click on “Clip” and I’m actually not sure what it would do when it’s ready.  Any thoughts?
