Selecting the 3D mode and 3D recording settings

1.  In the Edit menu, choose > User Preferences.

2.   In the navigator tree, choose GUI > Graphics.

3.  In the 3D mode section, make the desired settings:

Element Description

Enable 3D mode

 Select this option to show the 3D mode. After you restart Vissim, the following icons are displayed in the toolbars of the Network editors:

Anti-aliasing

      Select this option to reduce so-called “jaggies”, i.e. pixel edges caused by screen resolution. Using this type of recording produces a video of higher quality, however slows down the recording speed.

Background texture compression

 Select this option to compress textures for background images. It might then take longer to load background images. Select this option if your computer does not have sufficient video memory.

Graphics driver

Graphics driver required for displaying objects during simulation.

  • Ensure that your video card and the drivers installed support the standard selected.

Settings changes only become effective after you restart Vissim.

  • OpenGL 3.0: Open Graphics Library
  • DirectX 11: Allows remote desktop access to Vissim in 3D mode, ensures the representation of fire events and stable operation of multiple drivers. Default setting

4.  Confirm with OK.

The changes take effect after Vissim is restarted
