Show World Axes: Shows or hides the world axes, in the lower left part of the exported 3D PDF file.
Open Model Tree: Opens the 3D model’s tree in the exported 3D PDF file.
Disable Selection: Disables/enables selection of geometries in the exported 3D PDF file.
Navigation Mode: The user can set the default navigation mode for the exported 3D PDF file to be Rotate, Spin or Walk. The user of the 3D PDF file can choose to change this default mode from inside the exported 3D PDF file.
Default Render Mode: Using this option, the user can select the default render mode to be one of the following (Solid, Solid Wireframe, Transparent, Transparent Wireframe, Illustration, Shaded Illustration, Transparent Bounding Box, Solid Outline, or Bounding Box, Transparent Bounding Box Outline, Wireframe, Shaded Wireframe, Hidden Wireframe, Vertices, Shaded Vertices).
Default Light Type: light type can be one of the following: white, day, night, bright, CAD optimized, cube, or head lamp.
Light Power: increasing this value increases the brightness in the exported 3D PDF file.
Navigation System: in this group the user can set the navigation mode, in the exported 3D PDF file. The navigation mode can be either Default Navigation; which tends to focus on one object in the scene, or SimLab Smart Navigation which is suitable for large scenes.
Cameras/Scene States: in this group the user can check the Show SimLab Buttons Bar option, and choose an option for navigating different cameras/scene states in the exported 3D PDF file. SimLab Buttons Bar can be:
o Artistic Arrows: arrows will be used for navigating between different cameras/scene states.
o Numbered Buttons: numbered buttons will be displayed to represent each camera/scene states.
o Preview Images: preview images of the exported scene states will be displayed to represent each camera/scene states. (Available only in SimLab Composer)
Automatic Transition: this option enables automatic switching between, the different cameras in the scene. When automatic camera is enabled, the user can select the Pause Duration, which is the time in seconds for which the camera will stand still before camera effect starts.
Animate Camera Transition is an option for animating the transition between different cameras in the scene. The Duration (seconds) is the time of the animated transition. In case of no animated transition.
Time before switching cameras = Pause Duration + Duration (seconds)
A user can select the camera effect to be Zoom, Roll or the two combined. The camera effect will take place for the camera effect duration.
In case the Automatic Camera option is not checked, the 3D PDF file will be exported with the scene cameras, but will not automatically switch between them.
The Preview Image group is available for the user to choose to include or not to include a preview image for the exported 3D PDF file. In case of selecting an image, it will be displayed when browsing for 3D PDF files, to help the user in selecting the required file. This image will also be displayed when the user first opens the 3D PDF file. The image can be a rendered view image of the model/scene.
