A
vector field on page 4917, generated around an obstacle object, allows crowd
on page 4819 members to avoid that object in a scene. The field consists of a
three-dimensional array of vectors which guide delegates or other objects
around the obstacle. The settings in this rollout help determine how the
vectors are generated and displayed, and how they affect other objects.
NOTE Objects are subject to a vector field's forces only if they are bound to the
field with a Crowd object. For general usage guidelines, see

Interface
Display group
The check boxes in this group let you enable and disable display of four
different elements of the Vector Field space warp.
NOTE You can select a Vector Field space warp in the viewport by clicking any of
its visible elements except the range representation. If you've turned off display of
all four elements, you can still select the space warp by clicking its gizmo, which,
when viewed from the "top" (the orthogonal viewport in which the warp was
created), resembles a pair of crossed double-headed arrows in the shape of an X.
