The Pedestrians Editor (Add-on)
For Ramp/Stairway definition, no shape mode has to be selected. It is
always inserted as a rectangle.
Prior to the definition, at least two levels have to be defined
Not regarding the particular type of the construction element, all
construction elements are numbered in ascending order.
Rectangle Right clicking the mouse and dragging the pointer while holding down the
mouse-key starts creating a new rectangular pedestrian area.
In this mode, the rectangle is inserted in two steps:
► Your first right-click will fix the coordinates of a corner-point of the
rectangle. Drag the mouse pointer. By releasing the right mouse key,
the end of the length edge of the rectangular shape is fixed. The arrow
indicates the direction of drawing. Pedestrians may walk in both
directions.
Holding down the SHIFT key while dragging the mouse in step one limits
the number of possible directions; you may draw the pointer to just the
multiples of 45°.
► After releasing the mouse key you can determine the width of the shape
only towards one side (and thus not symmetrically): Move the mouse
sideward and right-click again finally.
If the CTRL key is pressed simultaneously in step two the width of the
shape is drawn symmetrically along the first edge which serves as a
center axis in this case.
Polygon Right-click to insert the first polyline point and keep mouse-key pressed
while dragging the pointer: Successive right-clicks will add more points to
the polyline.
Double-click (left) to finish the polygon without adding another point.
Alternatively, double-click (right) to insert a last point.
The polyline is always closed automatically: The first point is automatically
connected to the last point.
For the definition of a new polygon, these are the steps in detail:
► Keep right mouse-key pressed while dragging the pointer to insert the
first vertex.
► Insert successive vertices by right-clicking for each of them.
Press SHIFT simultaneously to draw a line in 45° or 90° until the next
vertex is marked.
► To finish the polyline, double-click either right or left mouse-key.
- Click right to finish with a final vertex at the click position.
- Click left to finish without inserting a final vertex at the click position.
After inserting a new construction element or double-clicking an existing one,
the properties window of the particular type appears, cf. section 7.1.4.7 et
seq.
