Tips and comments pertaining to the objects and tasks can be seen in the 3D view. These information can be defined in several places and then can be turned on/off using the buttons available in the Documentation area in the 3D view (see figure Documentation buttons on).
Figure 157: Documentation buttons on
The information is provided in different forms; a textual description of the information is provided in the table (see table Location and the representation of the documentation information) and a pictorial description is provided in the figure (see figure Representation of the documentation information). The red arrows in the figure connects the information displayed in the 3D view and the corresponding button. The turquoise colored arrow connects the information in the 3D view to the corresponding source where this information is defined.

(De)activate ergo color coding for human models |
|
Color codes body parts according to the limit values for body angles set in the Chart options. When clicking the button, the different angles for the head, upper body and arms are selectable. It is based on the charts of the Spine, Arm and Head values. |
Yellow / orange / red coloring of the head / upper body / arms of the human model |
Save screenshot (F12) |
By pressing the button Save screenshot (F12), an image of the current scene is saved in jpeg format. The directory where the screenshots need to be stored can be specified in advance in storage locations menu in ema settings (see chapter User interface / Menu bar / Options / Settings / Storage locations). If the storage location is not previously defined, then the screenshot is saved directly in the project folder itself. |

Save video file |
Using the button Save MP4 video file, the simulation is saved as video in .mp4 format. For that purpose, the memory location and the file name must be indicated. A successful simulation run is the precondition for using this feature (see chapter User interface / tab "Tasks" / Buttons). It is possible to select popular resolutions (UHD 4K, FullHD, HD, Mini and Current window resolution) for exporting the videos. The video is created at the currently set playback speed. |

Enable / disable flow visualization in 3D view |
Shows or hides the walking routes of a human model as path lines. The arrows indicate the direction of movement. The arrows can be (de)activated by default after a new simulation using the option Show walking paths in the 3D window after each simulation (see chapter User interface / Menu bar / Options / Settings / 3D view). Further information on the paths can be found in the spaghetti diagram results section (see chapter User interface / Tab "results" / Spaghetti chart). |
