Animation Window

Save 3D-View This button allows you to save what is currently being displayed in the 3D view graphics area. The image can be saved in a number of standard formats, such as .bmp, .ico, .jpeg, .jpg, .pbm, .pgm, .png, .ppm, .tif, .tiff, .wbmp, .xbm, or .xpm. This function is ideal for producing graphics for papers or presentations. Saved images can be edited with 3rd party graphics programs if needed.

Copy 3D-View to Clipboard This button allows you to copy what is currently being displayed in the 3D view graphics area to the clipboard. This allows you to paste the image into any program that supports copy and paste. This is useful for working with presentation or graphics editing software.

Reset Camera This button brings the 3D viewer back to it's beginning position. You may find that having used the rotation, translation, and zooming capabilities of the 3D view you have lost track of where you are in the graphics, which can make returning to a proper view of your data challenging. The reset view button removes this frustration and reorients you.

Floor This button adds/removes the floor in the 3D-view.

Axis This button adds/removes an axis in the 3D-view.

Marker Labels This button adds/removes marker labels for each marker in the 3D-view.

Force Plates This button adds/removes force plates in the 3D-view.

Force Vectors This button adds/removes force vectors in the 3D-view as measures by the force platforms in the c3d file.

Target Markers This button adds/removes the target markers that were recorded by the motion capture system.

Segment Markers This button adds/removes markers for any segments that have been created in the .cmo file.

Segment Lines This button adds/removes lines for any segments that have been created in the .cmo file.

Segment Geometry This button adds/removes geometrical shapes to represent any segments that have been created in the .cmo file.

Segment Bones This button adds/removes bones to segments that have been created in the .cmo file.

3D View Preferences This button allows you to change how the graphics that are presented to you. Changes happen in real time. At the bottom is the "Restore Defaults" button which resets all of the options to their standard setting.

Scene

Lighting on - When selected graphics that are suppose to be 3 dimensional have shadows to help simulate shape. When not selected objects are one solid color.

3D-Viewer - When a file is selected there will be a 3D-view of the data in the c3d file. The buttons below the viewer allows the user to navigate the c3d file. The buttons are, from left to right, Move to beginning, Move one back, Start/Pause, Move one forward, and Move to end. To the far right of the buttons is a counter, which indicates the frame number, as well as the radio buttons that allow the user to set the speed of the c3d file to either Every Fame or Capture Rate. The slider bar below the buttons indicates where in the c3d file the viewer is. It can be dragged back and forth to navigate the file.
