Creating a Fly Through

To create a Fly Through you must first import a data source containing elevation data, see Importing a simple data source for more information.
To create a Fly Through:
  1. Set the map to the position and zoom level you require.
  2. If you have not already created a 3D View, click the 3D.png button in the main window. Refer to Creating a 3D View for details of how to create the 3D View.
  3. Click the flythroughicon.png button on the toolbar and then click the map and draw a line that represents the origin and end of the first part of the Fly Through trajectory.
  4. Click the mouse button to create a point and start the second part of the trajectory, then click again to create a third part and so on. Double-click to end the trajectory.
    A Fly Through layer is added to the Map Layers pane. The trajectory represents a route that you can follow visually when the Fly Through is started. The trajectory is displayed in the Fly Through in relief, and a Fly Through button is added to all the currently open 3D View toolbars.
