7 Viewing Virtual Worlds
7-24
If your virtual world contains sensors, these sensors take precedence over mouse
navigation at the sensor's location. For more information, see “Sensors Effect on
Navigation” on page 7-24.
Control Menu
Access the control menu by right-clicking in the viewer window. You can use the control
menu to specify a predefined viewpoint or change the appearance of the control panel.
You can also control the navigation method, speed, and rendering of the virtual world.
For more information about navigation methods, see “Navigate Using the Simulink 3D
Animation Viewer” on page 7-18. For more information about rendering, see “Specify
Rendering Techniques” on page 7-10.
Change the Navigation Speed
You can change the speed at which you navigate around the view.
1
In the menu bar, select the Navigation menu.
2
Select the Speed option.
3
Select the specific speed that you want.
4
Navigate the virtual world.
Note Your navigation speed controls the distance that you move with each
keystroke. It does not affect rendering speed.
Consider setting a higher speed for large scenes and a slower speed for more controlled
navigation in smaller scenes.
To change the default navigation speed for a virtual scene, modify the speed field of the
NavigationInfo node in the scene VRML file. For further details, see the VRML97
standard.
