Editing Animations

Top  Previous  Next

Once you have saved several view points, you can edit the animation to correct any problems.

 

The Animation Point Contol. The Animation Point Control allows you to select individual points for editing. The number in the center shows the current point number. If no number is displayed, no points have been captured. Pressing the left and right arrows move you backward and forward through the points. The Left and Right arrows with Bars allow you to move to the beginning or end of the animation.

 

In this way, you can step through the whole animation one point at a time and the select a point for editing. As you step through the points, the display will change, showing the image that is associated with the current point.

 

Editing Operations. Once you have selected a point you wish to edit, you can perform four different operations on the point:

 

1. Overwrite. The Overwrite Button causes the current viewpoint to overwrite the selected point. This allows you to replace any existing point with a new point.

 

2. Insert. The Insert Button causes the program to insert the current viewpoint just before the currently selected point. This allows you to insert additional points anywhere in the animation without overwriting any existing point.

 

3. Delete. The Delete Button deletes the currently selected points. This allows you to remove one or more points from your animation.

 

4. Erase Animation. This Erase Animation button, deletes all viewpoints.
