Pan-rotate in 3D mode with WinProp

I'm tring to view my rey paths in 3D mode, how can I rotate the senario so that parts underneath the prediction plane can be viewed?

I attached the ProMan interface I have below, it seems I can't even simply pan it.

In addition, I wonder if there is a way to view the ray paths at a specifc location with entering the coordinates? I'm currently using the icons in the toolbar, where I have to select a location with the mouse. 

Best regards!

    Dear Pan,

    You can use your mouse to change the 3D display: Left mouse -> Pan, Wheel -> Zoom In/Out, Right mouse -> Rotate.

    If the database's parts are below the prediction plane, the parts would be hidden by the simulation result.

     

    Q: I wonder if there is a way to view the ray paths at a specifc location with entering the coordinates? I'm currently using the icons in the toolbar, where I have to select a location with the mouse. 

    -> You can dispaly the rays, only when the mouse is moving on the prediction plane, not by typing any coordinate values.

    Hi @Coco ,

    the attached video may also be helpful. You can rotate by keeping the right mouse button pressed in the 3D view.

    Dear Jaehoon, 

    Your advice has been very helpful! However, I also found out that the exact location of propagation paths are actually altered by the simulation resolution. For example, when the resolution is large, two nearby points are actually considered the same. I wonder if there is a file on the principle of this modification? 

    Sorry for bothering you with another question.

    Best regards,

    Coco

    -> I don't think there is such a file on the resolution principle. The resolution is related to how finely you want to calculate the propagated fields and how much time the simulation takes.

    If you want to see the difference in a specific prediction area, you can use smaller resolution and smaller prediction boundary (for less simulation time).
