Selecting display options

The following graphic parameters allow you to define how network objects are displayed the network editor:

For vehicles, pedestrians, links, areas, ramps and stairs, you can specify a colored display, e.g. a dynamic display based on simulation data.

Per default, they are shown in 2D. Simulations can be run in 2D mode and also in 3D mode (Calling the 2D mode from the 3D mode), (Using 3D mode and specifying the display), (Selecting the number of simulation runs and starting simulation).

The attribute Drawing order 3D of a display type allows you to define the priority that network objects have over other network objects when they are displayed on top of each other in the Network editor and intersect at the same height.

Restrictions in 2D and 3D mode

The following graphical displays and graphical parameters are effective only in 2D mode:

Graphic parameters /

Graphical display

Network object type Description

Show queue lengths

Queue Counters

Display queue lengths at each queue counter (Graphic parameters for visualizing of queue lengths)

Show queue lengths

Nodes

Display queue lengths in each node at each queue counter

Show turn value visualization

Nodes

Turn values represent the values of result attributes or user-defined attributes along the turn relations in a node (Visualizing turn values).

Link bar drawing mode

Links

Link bars visualize in 2D mode the values of a selected attribute on links or instead of links

(Graphic parameters for display of link bars and lanes)

.

Overtaking lane drawing mode

Links

Links and overtaking lanes: The overtaking lane is displayed in pink hatched (Graphic parameters for display of links and connectors).

Clearance visibility

Priority Rules

Display the min. clearance of the priority rule as a triangle across the width of the lane (Graphic parameters for min. clearance of priority rules)

Show flow bundle bars

Flow Bundles

Display volume on the respective paths with colored flow bundle bars (Visualizing volumes on paths as flow bundles)
Shape (2D) Vehicles in Network, Pedestrians in Network Set shape Rounded or Rectangular (Graphic parameters for the display of vehicle and pedestrian shapes). The shape is not dependent on a 2D/3D model.
Content of 3D information signs 3D Information Signs In 2D mode, the symbol is displayed with the network object. In 3D mode, the 3D information sign is displayed (Using the 3D information signs).

Route bundle

selected Area or Ramp

Show arrow band for each pedestrian route related to the selected area or ramp (Showing route bundle for area or ramp)

Grid display Links, Connectors

Display of the center line (Toggle wireframe on). Does not display the Display type in 2D mode. In 2D mode, displays the width of the lanes when the link is selected.

Measuring distances

--

Set measurement points in the network editor and measure distance between them (Measuring distances)

The following graphical displays or functions are effective only in 3D mode:
