Dynamic Spatial Links
Dynamic Spatial Links
Spatial links between portals can be added and removed during a model run, using Routine Operations.
When adding, if a link already exists (in either direction) a new one is not added.
When deleting, link(s) in either direction are removed.
No error is given if no links were in place between the 2 portals.
Deleting a spatial link deletes any items on it.
Copy spatial link function enables template spatial links to be copied which is useful for creating spatial link-pipes.
The "Copy From" specifies a spatial link object which has been preconfigued with the required visualisation options.
When you are preparing a number of Spatial Links for use in a Planimate Model, you would follow this procedure, whose details are covered elsewhere in this and other pages:
- Possible Preparatory Steps
- (Dynamic Object Creation):
- Create dynamic object definition table
- Create dynamic objects (restarts engine)
- Spatial Link Addition & Configuration
- Create links (using a table if convenient)
- Create bend points (if needed)
- Set link costs (if needed)
- Perform the run
