Studies, Feed, and Gallery

A Study is an independent thread inside a Project. Its Feed stays separate, while every study shares the same project settings.

Studies and shared settings

Use separate studies for different views, options, or review rounds. A project can hold multiple studies without duplicating its Composition.

There are two ways to start one:

• Select New study in the left rail.
• Send from a project that has no study yet. CAD Scene creates one first.

A new study starts as New study. After its first render request, CAD Scene tries to create a short title from that first prompt. If that step fails, the study remains New study and rendering continues normally.

The expanded rail shows each study's name, latest render thumbnail, and recent activity. The collapsed rail shows the same studies as circular thumbnails. Select either form to make that study active.

The active study appears in the URL and controls the center Feed. When no study is selected explicitly, the most recently active study opens.

Changes to Style, Scene, Lighting, Materials, Entourage, or Default render settings belong to the Project. Every study uses the saved Project values on its next send. Learn more in Projects.

Feed and Gallery

The Feed and Gallery answer different questions.

The Feed shows the active study. Each render request becomes a Feed card. Its output images stay grouped with that request. Select another study to see that study's history.

The Gallery shows the whole Project. It gathers completed renders from every study. Opening a Gallery image does not change the active study.

The Gallery view combines results without merging their Study histories. Return to a Study Feed when you need its prompt and request context.

Use Gallery controls to narrow or order the project:

• Select one or more studies, or leave All studies selected.
• Filter by Create, Enhance, or Edit.
• Filter by model or quality.
• Sort the currently loaded results by Most recent or Oldest.
• Open Trash to restore deleted renders.

Gallery fetches up to 20 renders per page, newest-first. Oldest reverses only the results loaded so far. It is not project-wide oldest-first until every page has been loaded with Load more.

The default Gallery excludes renders moved to Trash. Restoring a render returns it to the normal Gallery.

An empty, unfiltered Gallery means the Project has no finished renders yet. Clear active filters before treating an empty result as an empty Gallery.

Use the Feed when prompt context matters. Use the Gallery when comparing work across studies. For retries, variations, deletion, and history, read Render actions and history.

Render clarification history

When a render brief needed questions, a completed clarification appears as a thin row immediately before its Render card. The preview lists each question and answer in order. Select read more to see the initial prompt and the full ordered answers.

The clarification does not repeat the final prompt. The Render card shows that submitted prompt. Clear briefs, skipped questions, failed checks, and abandoned clarifications add no row.

The row belongs to the same Feed message as the Render. It does not add another page item or Gallery result. When every Render in that message moves to Trash, the clarification row leaves the Feed with its card.
