List of 3D graphic parameters

You can define the following 3D graphic parameters. You can also change 3D graphic parameters during the simulation. 3D graphic parameters use the unit set for short distances m or ft.

The illumination in 3D mode is largely independent of the orientation of the camera and does not come from a specific direction.

Base graphic parameters are taken into account (List of base graphic parameters for network editors).

Graphic parameter	Description
Show land	Shows or hides land area
Show map	Display or hide background map in 3D mode. The desired map must be selected in the base graphic parameter Map provider (List of base graphic parameters for network editors). If you zoom out of the map view too far, Vissim no longer displays a background map. The background is then gray.
Land texture	Select graphic file for land area
Land texture horizontal length	Length of graphic in Network Editor
Land color	Color of land area, if no texture is selected
Sky texture	Allows you to select graphic file with a texture for the sky. The sky is displayed as a hemisphere with a texture, if the 3D graphic parameter Show land is not selected.
Sky color	Color of sky, if no texture is selected
Underground texture	Allows you to select graphic file with a texture for the underground. The underground is displayed as a hemisphere with a texture, if the 3D graphic parameter Show land is not selected.
Underground color	Color of the underground, if no texture is selected The underground is displayed in the color selected, if the 3D graphic parameter Show land is not selected.
Fog mode	Off Linear: Define display of fog via a range. Enter distances for the 3D graphic parameters Fog start and Fog end. The 3D graphic parameter Fog density is disabled. Exponential: Defines display of fog via a value for the density. The 3Dgraphics parameter Fog start and Fog end are disabled.
Fog density (exponential mode)	Density value, default value 6.0. With increasing value, the fog looks more dense. The Fog mode Exponential must be selected.
Fog start (linear mode)	Distance of viewer position to the front of the fog. The default value is 0 m. The Fog mode Linear must be selected.
Fog end (linear mode)	Distance of viewer position to the end of the fog. The default value is 250 m. The Fog mode Linear must be selected.
Show shadows	Show or hide shadows in static 3D models, for pedestrians and vehicles
Shadow color	The default value is light gray 80, 0, 0, 0 Set the level of transparency: Double-click into the color box and use the slider under Alpha to set the desired level of transparency.
Show buildings	Enabling or disabling the display of 3D buildings on background maps 3D buildings are displayed within a radius of network objects of relevant network object types. These include, for example, links, areas, sections. The display also depends on the zoom level. Make sure that: The background map service has corresponding data for the section currently displayed in the network editor. You have selected the 3D mode for 3D representation. If the option is selected, you can set the visibility for 3D buildings (Editing building visibility).
Building color	Color of the 3D buildings. Default value: Alpha RGB 224, 224, 224, 224.
