- With Thickness < z-Offset, the walkable space seems to hover in 3D
● Thickness (3D): Thickness of the area in 3D display (cf. B in figure
below). Not regarded for simulation.
Thickness > 0 for an area or a ramp will reduce the headroom underneath
the construction element which is displayed in the 3D mode, since the
thickness of the ceiling (or ramp, respectively) is not regarded for the
headroom-based calculation of the length of the ceiling opening (or solid
ramp foot, respectively).
● Display Type: Color, texture etc. for the display of the area. Select one of
the display types defined via BASE DATA - DISPLAY TYPES, cf. section 5.5.2.
Scheme: A = Z-Offset top, B = Thickness; Obstacle (red): C = Z-Offset bottom, D =
Height
● Visualization: In this section, only the relevant option is regarded during a
simulation, the other one will be ignored. This depends on the current
selection via menu VIEW – OPTIONS – [PEDESTRIANS], cf. section 7.2.5.
For example, these options can be used to model tunnels and
underpasses in 2D graphics.
- Individual pedestrians: This option is regarded, if the global display
option Individual pedestrians is active, cf. section 7.3.2.
When turned off, no pedestrians are shown on that area during the
simulation.
- Aggregated values: If the global display option Aggregated values is
active, the currently active LOS scheme can be overruled for this
area in case of area-based LOS display, cf. section 7.3.3.
If this option is active, you can select either a LOS scheme which
is different from the globally selected one or Display type from the list
of schemes for display of this area during simulation.
When turned off, no aggregate values are shown on that area
during the simulation.
