the zoom by choosing an increase or reduction percentage value from a
pre-established list or you can write a percentage or m/pixel value
yourself.
•
See all: When you
click on this button all the objects you have loaded will be centred on the
screen. If you click on the lateral extension you will be able to choose which
elements you want to be centred (tracks, waypoints, maps). This function is
useful when you cannot locate the objects you have loaded.
•
Miniature view: This
function activates a small window in which all the elements you have loaded are
represented. A red rectangle marks the area that is currently in view on the
main screen. This function is very useful to orient yourself when you are
working with large zoom values.

area you want.
•
Measure distance:
First click on the point of origin and then on the final point to calculate the
lineal distance between these two points. Land/Air will give you the coordinates
of the two points, the lineal distance and the real deviation.
NOTE: If you do not click on a final point, Land/Air will give you the distance between the initial point and the actual position of the pointer. This information will be given in a label that will automatically open as soon as you move the pointer away from the initial point.
•

an image file of the current content of the window.
•
New window: Open a
secondary window in order to have an alternative vision of the loaded items.
•Identify: This function allows the user to check the proprieties and characteristics of each and every single element of Land/Air. At tool bar, when ‘Identify’ button is pressed, the mouse is replaced for a dartboard. Every element clicked by this dartboard is described in a lateral pop-up window with detailed information.
Some buttons are disabled in 3D mode and next ones are added:
•

When you activate the track simulator, you will be able to move around the
scenery as if you were piloting a helicopter.
•
Film a video: When you
click on this button you will start a video recording of all the movements that
you will make with the 3D viewer. First choose where you want to store the file
and write its name. Then choose the resolution you want to record the film with
(the greater the resolution, the bigger the file), and the type of compression
you want to use. When you have done this, the viewer will adjust to the
resolution you have chosen and the filming will begin. To stop the recording,
click again on the ‘Film a video’ button
