Visual3D Toolbar

The toolbar provides common buttons/tasks that can be done within Visual3D.

Depending on the current tab (Workspace, Signals and Events, Models, Reports, etc.), the toolbar options will change.

Workspace Tab

New Workspace

Empties the current workspace and creates a new one.

Open Files

Opens movement files. Note that although the default mask shows .c3d and .cmo files, this button can also open other file types such as ASCII files.

Save Files

Saves the workspace as a .cmo file in the CMO Format.

Close Files

There isn't a tool bar icon for closing motion trials, but this is a common process.

The File Menu item "Close File" does NOT close the highlighted file in the workspace tab. It closes the active files shown in the selector box in the toolbar.

There is also a pipeline command called File_Close to close the active file(s).

Print

Opens the print dialog box.

Recalculate

Recalculates model and event data.

Visual3D Pipeline

Opens the Pipeline Workshop dialog box. More information on the Pipeline can be found at the Visual3D Pipeline link.
