Examine, Move and Zoom tools - Use to change the camera view.
Grid inspector - This button opens the grid inspector which lets you
specify grid colour, visibility, snap to grid behaviour, visibility of stage
labels and spacing.
Venue inspector - Opens the venue inspector for setting its colour,
textures, visibility and to launch the venue set-up screen.
Camera inspector - Opens the camera inspector for setting camera
position, rotation and field of view. Tip: this will apply to whatever view
panel is highlighted, to highlight a panel click on it once.
View pane buttons - These four buttons are preset view panel arrange-
ments with one to four different views. Tip: you may also resize panes
by dragging the bright blue line that separates different panes.
Each view pane in the 3D window also has a drop-down menu to select
a view, an ISO checkbox to see the venue in Isometric view (helpful for
precise editing), a "Fill" checkbox to show wireframe or shaded views
and a "Full" button which will enlarge the pane to take over the entire
3D window.
Inspectors
Selecting an item on the 3D window displays the appropriate "Inspec-
tor" window for that item. The Inspector itself is a floating window that
allows you to edit and view properties, —the changes apply automati-
cally, therefore it is not necessary to close the window for them to take
effect. Most inspectors are self-explanatory but here is a discussion on
some important inspectors:
TrackPod inspector - View and edit the name of the TrackPod, its
colour, visibility and Head ID number (which can also be entered during
TrackPod calibration). Shows the XYZ coordinates of the TrackPod
target and the name of the loaded map, if any. Three buttons open up
different windows:
The monitor button evokes a window that simulates the Track-
Pod's controller. With this monitor you can view what the
operator is doing in real-time. You may also click on the "Over-
ride" checkbox so that the monitor can simulate all the function-
ality of the controller. For example, you may test fader patches,
