7 Simulation of Pedestrians
In order to restrict the mouse movement while generating or moving or
copying a construction element, hold down the SHIFT key: Now you can
move an element (or its corner/edge) along the horizontal, vertical or 45degree-diagonal
axis. This also works in combination with the CTRL key. In
this way, you can align precisely any copies of construction elements.
Rotate ► Place the cursor on the dot on top of the polygon.
The pointer appears as a rotating arrow.
► Left-click the dot on top and keep the mouse-key pressed while
dragging the pointer (clockwise or anti-clockwise) to the desired
position. The footprint of the rotating polygon is displayed by a rubberband.
The position of the cross marking the middle of the original
polygon is kept. As soon as the mouse-key is released, the frame will
be adjusted.
Edit shape To edit the shape of a user-defined polygon, you can either remove an
intermediate point from a polygon edge or add an intermediate point to an
edge or shift a point to a new position.
► Place the cursor.
The pointer appears as a cross-hair.
► Add vertex: Place the pointer precisely on the position in the polygon
edge where you want to add another polygon point. As soon as the
pointer is indicated by a cross-hair, you can add the new point by rightclick.
► Move vertex: Place the pointer on the polygon point to be shifted and
keep left mouse-key pressed while dragging the point to the desired
position. The shape of the polygon is adjusted immediately.
► Delete vertex: Place the pointer on the polygon point to be removed and
keep the left mouse-key pressed while dragging this point to one of the
neighbouring points. As soon as the mouse-key is released the dragged
point is removed from the polygon. The shape of the polygon is adjusted
immediately.
7.1.5 Links as Areas of Pedestrians
This section deals with links carrying pedestrian flows for modelling the
interactions of vehicular traffic and pedestrians.
Users of the Pedestrians add-on module can define construction elements
(areas, ramps, obstacles) for pedestrian traffic and additionally links as
walkable space for pedestrians.
