Launch an Automatic Camera Traveling
You can select an alignment and handle camera positioning and movement according to your preferences.
The Play command allows you to review your design and detect a potential obstacle or crest on the route that may obstruct the driver's vision. Then, you can adjust your design security-wise.

Select an alignment curve.
If the 3D Shape contains more than one alignment, the list is displayed in a panel and you can select one of them.
The Play button triggers an automatic camera traveling along the curves corresponding to the central alignment or curve offsets from the central alignment. The camera follows the alignment, moving left, right, up, and down according to the alignment curvature, to simulate a driver’s vision.
A Play section also appears in the action bar. For more information, see Manage the Animation Progress.
Various types of information relative to the camera’s eye current position on the alignment are displayed on the user interface and you can define specific camera behaviors. For more information, see the following sections.
The 3D Alignment can contain event points that surcharge the design speed and the lane distribution. The camera's eye takes the information into account. When it reaches the first event point as well as the position of the stopping sight distance marker that is calculated thanks to it, the design speed varies. When the camera's eye reaches the second event point, the lane distribution changes.
