Design too big for video
Emmanuel,
I'm making a design measuring approx 240x200 meters. Now I want to make a short video of a walk around the model. Unfortunately, the plan is now so small, that it is no longer possible to select the virtual visitor and drag it (him?her?) around.
Is it possible to give the virtual visitor a fixed size, not depending on the scale/size of the model?

Re: Design too big for video
I remember you already required such a feature, but if it appears it will be as an option because the scale of the virtual visitor matches the size of a human body (at least for reasonable values). But I don't really see the need in your case. Why don't you simply zoom in the image to be able to handle the virtual visitor more easily? By the way, I'm afraid that you'll require at the end to be able to set virtual visitor's speed, because moving in such a big design must take a long time!

Re: Design too big for video
Emmanuel,
Only now do I realize that the size of the virtual visitor is meant to reflect the size of a human being. Personally, I find this unnecessary: the little man is a "function", not a "person". It's a handle to change the viewing position, in my opinion. As such, I think a fixed size is more logical than a changing size. The size of the design itself sufficiently reflects whether or not you are zoomed in. The fact that you attach three function handles to the virtual visitor supports my view. You might want to try to zoom out a bit and then try to find the correct handle to rotate the virtual visitor or change its height....
- I shall not ask for a speed-up function, as the green "compass" already provides that when you hold the shift key. - Zooming in/out might be an option, if the zoom position was centered on the virtual visitor (if present), or better, on the center of the visible 2D screen, neither of which it does. The x,y coordinate changes according to some misunderstood logic. (sorry for being stupid) - I'm not in the habit of asking functions or features for my own pleasure, but (at least I try to) keep the general interest in mind.

Apart from your answer, by "virtual visitor's speed", I meant speed in the video.

No, I won't ask. Promise. But it would be nice if you could select and delete a part of the "voyage", or if there was a kind of on/off switch. Now you have to make two videos and join them, if you want to achieve this.
