Fly-through in ArchiCAD 12 (educational)

Anonymous — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:11:21 GMT

I started studying at Engineering College this summer(2009), and we've had quite a few ArchiCAD lessons so far. There's still lots more to learn I'm sure.

Anyways, I've tried making a flythrough of some of my projects. It seems that no matter what I do though, the flythroughs go way to fast. Is there anyway I can slow down the flythroughs? Can I set a time, that it should take from start to finish?

What I've done is, that I put up some cameras in my model, and then go to Document->Creative Imaging->Create fly-through. The fly-through that I get from it follows the path that I set with the cameras, but it takes 2-3 seconds from start to finish, where I would like it to take for example 20 seconds.

I might be doing something completely wrong, since I'm still very new at this, but I hope some of you can help me.

You need to add more frames between each camera.
I'm not in front of Archicad right now so I can't tell you exactly what it is you need to set - but you should see in the camera path options.
I think you need around 24 or 25 per second.

From the Camera dialog box, click the "Path..." button, the setting is in the Motion Resolution section of the Path Options dialog box.

Kuniklods: You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Thank you very much. That solved my problem I hope my signature-line is good enough now, thanks for the help

Thank you hehe..

And thanks laszlonagy, but I'll wait getting it till the winter break. We're doing a big project right now, and I don't want to change version right in the middle of that
