Colours
White Background / Black Background - changes background colour. Any text or overlay will be changed accordingly for visibility.
White Outlines / Black Outlines - changes outline colour.
Out of Range Colours – surfaces with values beyond the scale range will be coloured distinctly from those within the range.
Show/Hide
Show Null Surfaces - display null surfaces.
Mask Facing Surfaces – surfaces facing approximately toward the camera will not be filled, allowing the user to see into the building.
Mask Transparent Surfaces - transparent surfaces (surfaces with a transparent construction or that are null) will not be filled.
Mask All Except Floors – surfaces with an inclination of less than 135° will not be filled.
Fill Unfocussed Surfaces - when enabled, areas of the model not currently highlit will be shown as transparent.
Outline Unfocussed Surfaces - when enabled, areas of the model not currently highlit will be outlined.
Draw Outlines - enables/disables drawing of outlines for the entire model.
Enable Transparency - enables/disables transparent display of transparent surfaces (null surfaces and those with a transparent construction).
Show Compass Rose - displays a simple compass rose with North arrow underneath model.
Show Flow Arrows – Flow data will be represented on the model by red or blue arrows. See below for further information.
Show Wind Arrows – Wind direction and speed will be represented by arrows shown under the model.
Display Options – brings up the Visualisation Options dialog, detailed below. If the dialog is already open, this menu option will bring it to the top.
Orthographic - use orthographic projection (also known as parallel projection), disabling perspective and preserving parallel lines.
Faster Interactive - Draw a significantly simplified version of the model (no transparency, outlines or wind rose) while the camera is moving, then redraw full model when the camera is stationary. Highly recommended for larger models unless you have a graphics card.
Reset to Defaults – Reset visualisation options to their default values.
