| + | ===Following A Path=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | In the virtual environment, the relationship between assets can define a //path//. Using the **Follow A Path** option, you can have asset //A// move along the path defined by relationship //B// that begins at asset //C//. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Click the button, then enter the following details... | ||

| + | |Based On|The property to base the position off. A measurement value is required. The measurement is converted to a percentage (using the measurements Min and Max values), and the asset is positioned at that distance along the relationship.| | ||
| + | |Offset (X,Y,Z)|The distance from the path to the asset| | ||
| + | |Offset (Roll,Pitch,Yaw)|The difference in rotation between the path and the asset| | ||
| + | |Buffer (Near, Far)|The path is adjusted to begin //near// assets in and end //far// assets away. This shortens the length of the path| | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note that your asset will re-orient to follow the path between the assets. | ||
| + | |||
| + | //Buffer// is used to reduce the total length of the path. If our path travelled through 10 assets ( A - J) and was based on a measurement between 0 and 100, the asset would normally sit right near asset **A** when the value was '0' and be near **J** at '100'. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you set 'Buffer' to 3 and 3, the asset would be located at **D** at '0' and **G** at '100' instead. | ||
