Simulating Movement

Several tools simulate movement over and through the drawing.

When you use these tools, the model may display in wireframe mode even if a render mode is set. When the movement stops, VectorWorks renders the new view of the model. Additionally, for a highly complex drawing, VectorWorks temporarily removes some of the detail to speed up the movement. When the movement stops, the detail returns.

These tools have certain Tool bar buttons that are true modes, and others that act as command buttons. When some of these tools are in use, the Data bar provides display-only information to help orient the view.
