view’ is depicting movements / rotation of the target in the "real world").
The visualisation can be changed by clicking the right mouse button to open a menu with
the following options. (De-)select the appropriate ones by (un-)ticking.
Option Description
’Small markers’ reduces the size of the markers
’Colored markers’ shows the markers in different colors (untick: greyish)
’Emissions’ shows predefined direction (arrows) and angular restriction
(cones) of visibility (if applicable)
’Long axes’ extends the coordinate axes of the body coordinate system by
infinite dashed lines
’Show COG’ shows the body’s center of gravity (white square)
’Show XY plane’ shows the XY plane (yellow grid)
’Show YZ plane’ shows the YZ plane (cyan grid)
’Show XZ plane’ shows the XZ plane (magenta grid)
’Show room orientation’ shows the room coordinate system (only available when check-
box ’use tracked orientation’ is ticked)
’Add line between markers’ adds a line between two selected markers (option greyed out until
two markers are selected)
’Delete line between markers’ removes a line between two selected markers (option greyed out
until line is selected)
’Data view’ switches to the data view
8.6.6.2 Changing of body geometry
For manipulating the body geometry you have the choice between General or Special
options:
General The body coordinate system may be customized freely, i.e. user-specific.
Action Description
Body position [mm] translate the body coordinate system along its axes in steps of 1mm
Body orientation [deg] rotate the body coordinate system around its axes
Set origin activate a marker in the ’Graphic view’ by left-clicking with the mouse.
The marker is highlighted and the button Set origin is activated. Press-
ing this button translates the origin of the body coordinate system into
the center of the selected marker.
Set origin to COG translate the origin of the body coordinate system into the target’s center
of gravity
Set axis activate two markers sequentially in the ’Graphic view’ by left-clicking
with the mouse. The first one is highlighted in white, the second one in
grey. Additionally, the button Set axis is activated. Pressing this button
opens a dialogue to configure the transformation.
Adjust axes to room pressing this button aligns the body coordinate system collinear to the
room coordinate system
Delete marker activate a marker in the ’Graphic view’ by left-clicking with the mouse.
The marker is highlighted and the button Delete marker is activated.
Pressing this button removes the selected marker from the target ge-
ometry.
