Display Options
VIEW - OPTIONS... - [3D] provides options for display in 3D graphics mode.
Default Textures
For sky, land and for links and connectors as well as areas and ramps/stairs,
textures (image files) may be used instead of colors.
For each option the textures are stored separately.
Please note that when using textures the computer performance greatly
depends on the available memory of your graphics card.
Click the button to call the Texture Manager for the corresponding option,
cf. section 4.1.4.1.
● Sky: Projects the selected texture on a half sphere that is automatically
placed around the VISSIM network.
The graphics card of the computer needs to be equipped with at least a
16 bit z-buffer, otherwise the skydome is not displayed because of the insufficient
depth resolution.
● Land: Displays the selected texture on the land around the network. If it
is not large enough to fill the entire land space the texture is tiled.
● Links/Areas: Displays the selected texture tiled on all links or connectors
and areas and ramps.
The Default Texture selected for Links/Areas in this window can be overruled
for any link/connector and area or ramp/stair by a different texture
selected for its display type, cf. sections 5.5.2, 6.3.1 and 6.3.2.
