Navigator

Procedure of displaying three-dimensional model is intended for a visual estimation of a relief of the chosen terrain part and the objects located on it.

The program allows:

- to create three-dimensional terrain model by the chosen area on a two-dimensional map;

- to carry out measurements of distances and heights on three-dimensional model;

- to edit a map;

- to operate the composition of displaying superficial and three-dimensional objects;

- to scale terrain model and to move along model;

- to synchronise moving and scaling of a two-dimensional map and three-dimensional model;

- to set realistic position of the light source (Sun) taking into account a geographical location, a season and time of day ;

- to create and to play scenarios of moving objects;

- to create trajectories of camera movement on model and to play camera movement on model

- to place virtual video cameras with a displaying images of model in additional windows of video cameras;

- to save the image of terrain model from the main window and windows of video cameras into formats BMP and AVI.

The main menu of the program contains:

- File;

- State;

- Model;

- Tools;

- Options;

- Camera;

- Help.

Controlling panels of the program:

- Main panel;

- Left panel;

- Bottom panel;

- Contextual menu.

At the first activation of the task for a current active window-document of a map in a window of the Navigator 3D there is constructed three-dimensional model of a rectangular part of terrain corresponding to a part of two-dimensional map, visible in a window of a two-dimensional map.
