Real-Time Images
A real-time display is a depiction of the design in any kind of projection and rendering. All objects and symbols (such as symbols for cameras and lights) which have been set as visible in the plan will be included in this display. You can use the Layers dialog, the Layers filter and also Hide and Unhide selections to determine which objects are to be visible in the resulting image.
There are several ways of capturing a real-time display in pCon.planner, which are described here.
1.First set the projection and rendering you have in mind. 2.Open the Copy menu in the Clipboard group on the Start tab. 3.Click on the Copy Image button. Now an image of the objects in the current viewport will be created and sent to the Windows clipboard. 4.Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + V to paste the image into a graphics application or into pCon.planner itself. |
