Attributes of camera positions

1.  On the Presentation menu, click 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 (Saving camera positions), (Setting 3D perspective as 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

GraphMode

Graphics mode 2D or 3D for which this camera position is defined

VehNo

Vehicle number: Number of vehicle selected for camera position

PedNo

Pedestrian number: Number of pedestrian selected for camera position

ExtentY

Extent in Y direction: Size of the visible network section: Length [m] of the visible network section in the Y direction of the network editor (parallel to the network object sidebar). The corresponding visible width in X direction results from the aspect ratio.

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 on the shortcut menu, click Apply to current Network Editor.
