7 Simulation of Pedestrians
7.1.4.5 Properties & Options of Ramps/Stairways
The general properties of ramps/stairs (upper portion of the properties
window) are similar to the properties of areas and obstacles.
● No.: Unique identification of the Ramp/Stairs.
● Name: Any name or comment
● Levels: For a ramp/stairs, two levels have to be selected from those
defined via VIEW - LEVEL DISPLAY, cf. section 7.1.4.6.
- Level 1 is the level where drawing the ramp started
- Level 2 is the level where drawing the ramp finished
● Z-Offset (for ramps by level): Offset (positive or negative value) along zaxis
to the particular edge for 3D display of the ramp/stairs (= ground
pedestrians walk on, cf. A in scheme).
- With Thickness > z-Offset, the walkable space rises from below zero.
- With Thickness < z-Offset, the walkable space seems to hover in 3D.
● Thickness (3D): Thickness of the ramp in 3D display (cf. B in scheme).
Not regarded for simulation.
