Network settings for standard types of elevators and elevator groups

The display of the cabin floor, the cabin ceiling, the shaft, and the door is based on a display type in each case. For each of these display types, you can select a default type.

Each pedestrian in the cabin and each pedestrian alighting from the cabin uses a walking behavior that is based on an area behavior type. You can select a default type for each of these area behavior types.

When you open an *.inpx network file saved in a Vissim version that did not yet include standard types, Vissim will create the standard types automatically.

1.  On the Base Data menu, click > Network Settings.

2.  Select the Standard types tab.

3.  In the Elevators and elevator groups section, in the list boxes, click the entries of your choice.
