Drawing pipes
For details, refer to “Drawing pipes” on page 133.
Drawing masking
Masking, specifically borders and legs, can be automatically attached to pipes using the
border and legs tool.
To draw borders and legs
1
Select the pipes for which you want to attach a border and legs.
2
From the Tools menu, choose Border and Legs.
3
Select the Border check box to add a border to the selected pipes, and then specify
the height of the border.
Note: This is the distance from the pipe to the bottom of the border.
4
Select the Legs check box to add legs to the selected pipes, and then specify the
width and bottom elevation of the legs.
Note: The width is the distance from the extremity of the pipe to the inside edge
of the leg. The bottom elevation is the distance from the floor (z = 0) to the
bottom of the legs.
5
Select the Group to pipe check box to group the border and legs to the pipe. When
this option is selected all the components (border, legs, and pipe) are selected as
one.
Note: If, at a later time, you want to edit a border or leg individually, you must
ungroup the objects.
6
Click OK.
Result: Three surfaces are drawn and attached to the selected pipe.
Drawing focus positions
For details, refer to “Drawing focus positions” on page 179.
Drawing screens
Streaming video enables you to bring a live or pre-recorded video stream into
WYSIWYG and play it back while you set looks in Design mode and while you precue in
Live mode. To do so, you must first use CAD mode to draw the screen upon which the
video will play.
Once you draw the screen, you can leave it blank, assign a static image, or you can
assign a video source to it using the Video Manager. You can select a video file or you
can capture a live video stream from an external source, such as a web cam or a video
capture device that is installed on your computer (provided that you have WYSIWYG
Perform). For video files, you must select one of the following video file formats for
playback:
„
Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG)
„
Audio-Video Interleaved (AVI)
Note: If you cannot view these file types, you may not have the proper decoder
installed on your PC. Install the appropriate decoder, and then try viewing the file again.
For help on installing the decoder, consult the developer of the video file type.
For live video streams, your capture device must be using WDM drivers.
