Attributes of camera positions

1.  From the Presentation menu, choose Camera Positions.

The Camera Positions list opens.

By default, you can edit the list (Using lists).

Note: In lists, you can use the  Attribute selection icon to show and hide attribute values (Selecting attributes and subattributes for columns of a list).

2.  A network object may have the following attributes: These can be shown in the attributes list.

Element Description
No Number of camera position
Name Name of camera position. Changing the name of a camera position automatically changes the name of the keyframes assigned to it, if the keyframes have the same name as the camera position.

CoordX

Coordinate (x): horizontal camera position on the x-axis
CoordY

Coordinate (y): horizontal camera position on the y-axis
CoordZ

Coordinate (z): vertical camera position on the z-axis. Showing 3D perspective of a driver or a pedestrian, this is at eye level. The eye level depends on the model:

  • Vehicles, with the exception of HGVs, buses and trains: default 1.5 m
  • HGVs, buses and trains: default 2.5 m
  • Vehicle types, man, woman: default 1.75 m
  • Pedestrians: 92.5 % of height of 3D model
CoordPt Coordinates: Coordinates of the camera position Coordinate (x), Coordinate (y) and Coordinate (z). Showing the 3D perspective of a driver or a pedestrian: 0, 0, eye level.
YawAngle Yaw angle: Angle of rotation around z axis. Showing 3D perspective of a driver or a pedestrian: 0°
PitchAngle Pitch angle: Angle of rotation around y axis. Showing 3D perspective of a driver or a pedestrian: 10°
RollAngle Roll angle: Angle of rotation around x axis. Showing 3D perspective of a driver or a pedestrian: 0°
FOV Field of View: Aperture angle of the camera in degrees from viewer's position
FocLen Focal length in mm
VehNo Vehicle number: Number of vehicle selected for camera position
PedNo Pedestrian number: Number of pedestrian selected for camera position

3.  If during editing you have changed the display of the Vissim network and want to show the entire Vissim network again, on the Network Editor toolbar, click the Show entire network button .

Tip: You can apply a saved camera position to the current network editor:

  • In the Camera Positions list, right-click a saved camera position. Then from the shortcut menu, choose Apply to current net editor.
