Flightpath Module

Flightpath Module

The Flightpath Module is used to design and build a flighpath around the scene. The path created is what is viewed in the Flyby Module.

The effect of the mouse will depend upon which Flightpath Module view the mouse is located in and if Pick Mode is selected. Pick/Non-Pick Mode is selectable from the Flighpath Menu Non-Pick Mode is the default.
