ColumnIn Pathfinder the infrastructure will be visualized in a top view

This pages describes the visual changes possible for the infrastructure design and layouts in Pathfinder.

In Pathfinder all infrastructure and components are visualized in a top-down perspective. This perspective contains four layers nested within each other:

location

locations,

building

buildings,

floor

floors and

room.

You can provide a background image (e.g. a floor plan) for each layer, as well as a scaling factor, so you are able to work true to scale.

rooms.

The respective layers have various visual customization options for the network design.

The top view of each layer includes the background image on which all elements of the next layer are

marked (e.g. the rooms are marked in the top view of a floor).

Use the mouse wheel for zooming and press the mouse wheel to change the field of view.

If you want to add objects in the top view, select the corresponding option in the context menu.

Decide, whether you want to upload a file directly into Pathfinder, or just link to an existing file. If you choose to do the latter, changes made to the linked file will also be visible in Pathfinder.

Depending on the file format you can adjust the properties (Transparency, visible layers etc.) in Options.

The Design mode can also be accessed via the context menu.

Here you can edit an object's size and position. Via right click on a tray you can add waypoints for a more tidy arrangement or use Layout to customize its visualization.

View & Format and Layout in the context menu allow further changes to an object's visualization (color, font, transparency etc.). Use Define scale to be able to work true to scale, by defining a scaling factor or specifying the length of a known distance.

You can use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out of the screen and press and drag the mouse wheel to move the map around.

If you want to add objects in the top view, select the corresponding option from the context menu.
