Saving camera positions

To record a simulation as an AVI file, you need to save the camera positions with the network view of your choice. You then assign keyframes to the camera positions (Defining a storyboard with keyframes).

If you save multiple camera positions in 3D mode and then switch between them, the views are linked by a short camera movement and do not switch seamlessly.

You can also save a camera position during a simulation run. When doing so, you can save the 3D perspective of a driver or a pedestrian as camera position as well (Setting 3D perspective as camera position).

1.  Make sure you have selected the 3D mode.

In 3D mode, the button is selected. The network is displayed in 3D.

You do not need to perform the next step if you want to save the camera position during a simulation run, e.g., to save a 3D perspective of a driver or a pedestrian as camera position.

2.  When 3D mode is selected, set the desired camera position by clicking the Rotate mode (3D) button or using the mouse or keyboard.

3.  On the Network editor toolbar, click the Camera position selection button .

4.  Click Add.

5.  Enter the desired name.

6.  Confirm with Enter.

7.  Click.

The coordinates of the position and the three rotation angles are saved.

Tip: You can edit the attributes in the Camera Positions list (Attributes of camera positions).
