The viewer now allows you to look at your Simulex projects in 3D. This can be accessed by launching the viewer through the VE and opening a Simulex project via the Simulex Toolbar or by the ‘Play Back in 3D’ option in Simulex itself. The viewer enables you to animate occupant movement on each floor of your building while allowing you to: fly around the building; separate the floors; and change display mode for easier visual analysis. Some examples are below.
