ICAM Virtual Machine ® Version 19.0 Using Virtual Machine Models with CeRun and Gener Navigating the Simulation Window keyboard number keys 0 through 9 while holding down the Ctrl key. If the display does not change, then that view number is undefined. You can define your own viewpoints by holding down the Ctrl and Alt keys before pressing a number key. Default views are stored with the model; personal viewpoints are stored in the vsw file where they override those of the model. Predefined views can also be activated and set using the Simulation»Camera»Load and Simulation»Camera»Save menu selections. Selecting Simulation»Camera»Reset in CERUN and GENER resets the predefined views to those defined and saved in the model by QUEST. Selecting Simulation»Camera»Reset in QUEST clears the predefined views from the model. The transition between views can be abrupt or smooth, depending on the camera animation setting in the Simulation»Options dialog. Smooth transitions are only possible between predefined viewpoints sharing the same base view (e.g., two perspective views or two orthogonal views, but not between a perspective and orthogonal view). To summarize: � Left-mouse controls camera rotation. � Middle-mouse and mouse wheel control panning. � Left / Right / Up / Down arrows and Page Up / Down also control panning. � Ctrl Left / Right arrows roll the camera cclw and clw. � Shift modifies all of above functions. � Left-mouse double-click does a Fit (Ctrl Space) and Pivot (Ctrl P) on the selected object. � Ctrl P sets the camera pivot origin to the selected object. � Ctrl Space (or Ctrl .) reorients and zooms the camera to “fit” the object in the window. � Ctrl Shift Space reorients the camera to point at the selected object. � Ctrl 0 through Ctrl 9 selects one of 10 prerecorded camera positions. � Ctrl Alt 0 through Ctrl Alt 9 saves prerecorded camera positions. � Simulation»Options (Ctrl Alt O) sets camera animation and look-around properties. 16 ICAM Technologies Corporation – Proprietary
2.5 Adjusting Lighting Using Virtual Machine Models with CeRun and Gener Adjusting Lighting VM supports up to eight different lights, which can be placed strategically around or even inside the machine. Each light consumes a little more CPU, so if performance is a problem you might try reducing the number of lights being used. Unlike in the real world, solid objects do not affect VM lights. Lights shine through objects, do not cast shadows, and the lights themselves are not visible in the simulation window. Lighting will normally not need to be adjusted. If the simulation window is completely dark, it might not necessarily be due to a lighting problem. Even with all lights off, VM provides a certain amount of ambient light. Before adjusting the lights, first make sure that the viewpoint is back and away from the machine (to do so, first press the Ctrl spacebar shortcut, and then press and hold the down-arrow to pan back). If the machine is visible, but too dark or too light, select Simulation»Lights (Ctrl Alt L shortcut) to bring up the Light dialog. The horizontal slider rotates your viewpoint around the machine. The vertical slider changes the viewing distance. Lights appear as small boxes, but you may have to hide the machine (clear the “Objects” check box) to see them. Lights are positioned on a hemisphere using the left and right-mouse buttons. The left-mouse button controls the position on the hemisphere. The right-mouse button controls the size of the hemisphere. To adjust the light, place the mouse pointer over the light and then press and hold either the left or the right-mouse button. Move the mouse to change the lighting position or distance. Light intensity is controlled by the individual sliders associated with each light. The color of each light can be adjusted by first selecting the box to the right of the intensity slider and then choosing a color from the color chart. Using different colors for your light sources will improve depth perception. If a light appears immovable, perhaps the distance has been set to a very small value. In this case, use the right-mouse button to increase the lighting distance. It is also possible to position a light so far away that it can no longer be selected. In this case, the Reset button can be used to set all lights to their default positions. Pressing the Reset button in CERUN and GENER sets the lighting to the default as defined and saved in the model by QUEST. Pressing the Reset button in QUEST sets the lighting to a built-in default based on the grid size. ICAM Technologies Corporation – Proprietary 17
