Fit Animation: Centering a View in the 3-D Playback Window

Fit Animation positions the view so the entire simulation appears in the 3-D Playback Window during playback. This is useful for models with wide trajectories where you want to see the entire simulation without having to pan and zoom.

 

To center a simulation:

1. 

Select the 3-D Playback Window in the Simulation Results tab.

2. 

From the Playback Toolbar, click Change 3-D Settings ( ).

3. 

Select Fit Animation.  The simulation is centered and the magnification is adjusted.

 

If the Fit Animation option is selected, clicking Fit Scene ( ) in playback mode will center the animation in the 3-D playback window.

 

Note:  For a smooth transition to occur when switching between the 3-D orthographic and perspective views in the 3-D Playback Window, select Enable View Change Animations at the bottom of the Settings panel.
