VISSIM 5.30-05 User Manual

4 View Settings
Pan: Pressing left-hand mouse-key allows for dragging the 3D network in
any direction without changing the height of the observer. This command will
move the network within the network plain. Thus if the camera position is
very low, just a small movement of the mouse will result in a large movement
of the network.
Rotate network: Changes the location from which the VISSIM network is
viewed (“camera position”). When 3D is initially switched on, the network is
viewed from directly overhead, similar to the standard 2D view. When
ROTATE NETWORK is selected and the mouse is dragged on the screen, the
camera position changes:
► Dragging up and down changes the vertical angle at which the scene is
observed (changing the height and angle of the observer).
► Dragging left and right rotates the point of view around the network.
Fly through the network: In this mode the observer is moved continuously
through the network.
► Double-click (left) starts/ends the movement;
double-click (right) starts/ends backwards movement.
► Movement of the mouse changes the direction of the flight.
► The speed of the flight can be changed:
- With the left SHIFT key the speed is increased.
- With the left CTRL key the speed is decreased.
The 3D viewing modes are:
► Rotate network
► Pan network
► Fly through the network
The selected 3D viewing mode remains active until either the singleselect
mode is enabled or another 3D viewing mode is selected.
4.3.1.2 Sitting in the Driver’s Seat
Another 3D viewing option is to “sit in the driver´s seat”. This can be done in
single step mode by double-clicking on the vehicle. To leave the vehicle,
close the corresponding vehicle information window. The view from of the
driver´s seat is also possible to be used as a camera position for a keyframe
(in order to record an *.AVI file).
