Do you mean having another view port inside your main view port that shows a close up of something on your layer? If so, it's not possible in Construct 3 to render another viewport. You would have to simulate it somehow.

Yes! that's exactly it, I'm trying to create a "zoomed in" representation of the balloon to fit in the windows.

Hello. thx for the response, but no, it's more like the next post, having a picture-in-picture of another portion of the canvas.

thx

hi, so you want a picture inside a picture like a CTV monitor showing camera footage from another part of the layout?

you could do that by events, using a minimap like format, i think i had a Tank demo with a minimap around the tutorial area... for C2... il see if i can find it... meanwhile there is this youtube video doing the same thing

Edited: on the other hand, i think you could make it happen with Canvas... basically pasting inside a small area a layout position xY with the items inside ... might be cpu intensive... but is basically how the above examples work i think.

It is similar to this indeed, but I want a "Zoommed in" view, like if I had a magnifying glass over the portion of the Canvas that I wanted to view.

I thought I could create a drawing area, then take a snapshot of the whole canvas and pasting it onto the drawing canvas, but it's not working.
