Defining a 3D traffic signal in the Network editor

1.  On the network object sidebar, click 3D Traffic Signals.

Notes:   You can specify that you need not press the Ctrl key when adding network objects (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object). For some network objects there are windows in which the attributes of a network object can be defined and edited. There are lists for this, for all network objects. You can choose whether you want to open a window, a list or neither of the two for the definition of network objects in the Network Editor (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object).

2.  In the network editor, hold down the Ctrl key and right-click the position where you want to add the 3D traffic signal.

The 3D Traffic Signal window opens. In the window, add an arm, a signal head, a sign and/or light to the signal mast. Then arrange the objects and edit their attributes (Attributes of 3D traffic signals). The 3D Traffic Signal window contains the following sections:

• Section on the left: default entry Signal mast. If you have added an arm, signal head, sign, or light to the signal mast, this is indicated below it. The number added to the name facilitates the identification of the element.
• 3D view in the middle: displays a preview of the signal mast with the elements added. Above the 3D view, you will find a toolbar with functions that allow you to edit the elements.
• Section on the right: If an element has been selected in the section on the left or in the preview, the attributes of this element are displayed here (Attributes of 3D traffic signals).

The figure shows the 3D Traffic Signal window, displaying a signal mast with an arm, three signal heads and a traffic sign. Several attributes of these elements were edited. The signal head at the signal arm is selected. On the toolbar, you have enabled the Move button.

Adding arms, signal heads, signs, or street lights

You can align one or several of these elements with the signal mast and edit their attributes. If you add an arm, you can align one or multiple elements with it.

1.  In the section on the left, click Signal mast.

The symbols above the left section are enabled. You can select one symbol at a time.

2.  If you have already added an arm and would like to align an element with it, in the section on the left, below the Signal mast <No>, click the SignalArm <No>.

3.  On the toolbar, click the button of your choice.

	Arm
	Signal head
	Sign
	Street light

The element is inserted and activated in the preview.

The attributes are saved in the 3D Traffic Signals list.

In the 2D mode, in the Network Editor, the contour or outline of the 3D model is displayed.

Legend
Element	Description
Square	3D traffic signal not selected: green with a red circle in the inner square 3D traffic signal selected: dark blue in 2D mode 3D traffic signal selected: light blue in 3D mode
Circle	Mast
Red line	Direction and length of signal arm
Blue arrows on the signal arm	Signal Heads
Navy blue circles	In 2D mode: Signal head directly on the mast

In the 3D mode, in the Network Editor, the 3D model is displayed and selected.

Adding a new 3D signal head for signal head

1.  Make sure you selected the 2D mode.

2.  In the Network editor, right click the marker of the desired signal head.

3.  On the shortcut menu, click Add New 3D Signal Head for Signal Head.

The Add 3D Signal Head window opens.

• If no 3D traffic signal has been defined yet, only options for adding a new 3D signal head are enabled in the window.
• If a 3D traffic signal has already been defined, the window displays the possible options activated, as well as the numbers of existing masts and arms.

4.  Make the desired changes.

5.  Confirm with OK.

The 3D Traffic Signal window opens.

6.  Make the desired settings (Attributes of 3D traffic signals), (Editing 3D traffic signals).

7.  Confirm with OK.

In the Network editor, the 3D traffic signal is placed at the marker of the signal head. You can move the 3D traffic signal to the position of your choice.
