Viewer Popup Menu
Use to: Set options and select functions for viewers.
Find it: When in the Examiner Viewer, Walk Viewer, or Plane
Viewer hold down the right mouse button over the work area in Cosmo
Worlds. The menus for all viewers are similar.
How it works:

-

-
Move to your home position. Also access on the Viewing toolbar
by pressing:
-
Set a new home position. Also access on the Viewing toolbar
by pressing:
-
View all the objects in your scene. Also access on the Viewing
toolbar by pressing:
-
Seek to an object or point by choosing this menu item and then
selecting the point. Also access on the Viewing toolbar
by pressing:
-
Copy a current camera position which can later be pasted in another
viewer by using Paste Viewpoint.
-
Draw Style lets you change
the way Cosmo Worlds renders objects. See Changing the Draw Style for
details.
-
The Viewing command is equivalent to the pick and
view buttons on the toolbar. When a checkmark appears next to
Viewing, you are in viewing mode. The cursor resembles a hand and you
can change your view of the scene. When the checkmark is absent, you
are able to select and edit models.
Shortcut: In selection mode, use Alt to temporarily
enter View mode.
-
Decoration lets you hide or display all
of the controls that appear around the viewing area.
Turn on decoration (checkmark appears) to see the toolbar, zoom,
rotation, and navigation controls in the viewer windows for editing
tools. Turn off decoration (no checkmark) to hide the viewer controls
around the viewer window.
-
The Headlight command lets you turn on
and off the headlight, which is a single directional light positioned
from the camera at the scene. Turn the headlight off to see only those
lights you have added to the scene. (Use the Light Editor to add lights to your scene.)
When you open a scene without lights, Cosmo Worlds automatically sets
the headlight to on. When you open a scene with lights,
Cosmo Worlds automatically sets the headlight to off. Note
that VRML browsers have their own way to use headlights. Turning the
headlight on or off in Cosmo Worlds does not set the headlight for a
browser. To set the headlight for a browser, see Adding Navigation Information.
Note: The headlight is reset to on each time you
open a file.
-
Preferences has a pop-up window that
lets you set several options like seek animation time, camera zoom
angle, and auto clipping planes. See Viewer Menu Preferences for details.
