VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

Links: Behavior Type and Display Type
For 2D view, the general properties of the selected display type are
displayed on top of the tabs and can be edited:
● No.: Unique identification of the display type.
● Name: Label of the display type.
● Color: Used for the display in the network (except during a simulation or
animation run in 2D) if option Use display type colors is checked under
VIEW – OPTIONS – [COLORS].
● Invisible: If this option is active none of the links or construction
elements of this display type will be drawn during a simulation or
animation run (but the vehicles/persons moving on these links/elements
will be displayed).
[3D DISPLAY] The properties for 3D display are arranged in this tab:
● Texture: Graphics file to be used for link display in 3D mode. The cross
means „no texture“, otherwise a preview of the texture is displayed. The
graphics file can be selected through the texture manager (cf. section
4.1.4.1) which is opened by a click on the preview pane.
● Curved: If this option is selected the texture is oriented along the
center line of the link, following its curvature (which is useful for
text/numbers/markings on the pavement). If the option is not selected
the textures for all links and connectors of this display type are oriented
the same way so that no edges are visible where they overlap.
● No Mipmapping: If this option is selected the texture is drawn with
maximum resolution even in greater distance from the viewer, which is
good for markings on the pavement. If this option is not selected the
texture is drawn blurred in the distance which looks better for pavement
without markings.
