4.3.4 3D Signals
4.3.4.1 Creating
The 3D Graphics Mode
There is a choice of signal head displays in 3D mode (cf. section 4.1.4 for all
available displays). One option is to show real signals rather than the blocks
used in versions prior to VISSIM 4.20. This section describes how to enable
and configure real signal heads.
Creating a signal head requires the 2D graphics mode and the Signal
heads edit mode.
Editing signal heads can be done in 2D mode and in 3D mode.
► In the 2D graphics mode, the Signal heads edit mode needs to be
active.
► In the 3D graphics mode they can only be edited within the dialog
window (double click on the object in 3D mode to open the window),
whereas in 2D, they can be moved and rotated outside of the dialog
box, too.
Most properties of a new 3D signal are taken from the signal defaults (cf.
section 4.1.4.2).
Follow the steps below to create a new 3D signal:
1. Open the Signal Head window for the signal head you want to create a
new 3D signal for.
2. Press NEW 3D SIGNAL to open the 3D Traffic Signal window.
3. Set the position of the new signal.
