Pseudo Objects
The TAD interface has a 3D viewing option. On clicking the icon that says 3D on the screen, a window opens displaying your model in perspective view. Pseudo objects are used to set the viewing location, angle and lighting of the model in the 3D viewing window.
The following are default pseudo objects in TAD:
- location (the point from where the model is being viewed)
- lookat (the point at which the viewer is looking, helps set viewing angle)
- light
- light#2
The location object is represented by a right-angled triangle.It is recommended that the location is placed outside the boundaries of the building model.
The lookat object is represented by a right-angled triangle. it is recommended that the lookat is placed within the boundaries of the building model.
Note: The location object is not to be confused with the architect. The location object is solely used for 3D viewing purpose whereas the architect is used to execute activities on the site.
