# Scene States Library

<span style="color: #3366ff;">[Scene States](https://simlab-soft.com/help/link/14#bkmrk-page-title)</span> enable the user to capture different configurations for the **selected 3D model**(s) (**Object** Properties), or useful properties for the **whole scene** (**Scene** properties).  
  
To view what is selected in a scene state, make sure nothing is selected in the scene, then click on a scene state in the Scene State Library
