Defining static 3D models

You can insert and edit 3D models in the 2D or 3D mode and visualize the model in 3D mode. The following file formats are supported: *.u3dm, *.skp, *.fbx, *. ifc, *.3ds, *. dwf.

1.  On the network object sidebar, click the Static 3D Models button.

2.  In the Network Editor, right-click the position in which you want to insert the 3D model.

3.  On the shortcut menu, click Add New Static 3D Model.

The Open window opens.

4.  Select the desired directory, for example in the installation directory of your Vissiminstallation ..\exe\3DModels\Vegetation.

In the directories below the ..\3DModels directory, static 3D models are stored by default in the *.fbx file format. For example models of benches, traffic cones, plants, buildings, overhead lines, tracks, road block equipment, sky textures, stop lights, stops, garbage cans.

5.  Double-click the desired file.

A symbol for the 3D model is displayed in the Network Editor.

The Add static 3D model window opens. In the section on the left, a preview of the 3D model is displayed.

6.  Make the desired settings for the attributes (Attributes of static 3D models).

The window also provides the following commands:

Element Description

Preview in section on the left

3D display of the selected 3D model.

  • Zoom: Turn the mouse wheel.
  • Rotate the model: Left-click and keep the mouse button pressed while moving the mouse pointer in the desired direction.

3D model file

Opens the Open window for selection of a file with a static 3D model

Resets the Preview to default settings. Does not reset the values of attributes in the Angle section.

Adjust visualization: Show options that allow you to display additional elements in the preview. For example, Show ground plate:

 Select this option to display a gray, transparent ground plate below the 3D model. This view supports the orientation during rotation and tilting of the 3D model in the preview.

 If you do not select this option, no ground plate is displayed. This view corresponds to the view provided by the Network editor.

Angle

Angle of rotation around the three axes (Attributes of static 3D models)

In the 2D mode, in the Network Editor, the contour or outline of the 3D model is displayed and selected.

In the 3D mode, in the Network Editor, the 3D model is displayed and selected.

You can edit the static 3D model (Editing static 3D models in the Network Editor).
