Using network editors

In Vissim you can display one or multiple network editors, e.g. to show the network both in the 2D and 3D mode or in different scales or from different viewing angles.

In each network editor you can display and edit the open network, zoom out for an overview or zoom in to show more details. You can display the network with different graphic parameters in the Network Editors; for example, two dimensional in one editor and three dimensional in another.

If you run simulations, these are shown in the open Network Editors. You can control the display of network objects for each network editor using the visibility (Using the Network object sidebar).

In Vissim, you can move and arrange Network editors to other positions on the desktop or anchor them in other windows of Vissim (Changing the display of windows). The positions are saved in the *.layx file.

Above each open Network Editor, a toolbar with functions that you can use to control the appearance of the network in that Network Editor is shown.

Note: The display in the network editor is linked to the display in Smart Map (Using the Smart Map). If you change the section in the Network editor, the position of the colored rectangle or cross hairs in Smart Map also changes and vice-versa.
