Prepare the model for animation

00:13

Now, we're returning to InfraWorks to a creative visualization and actually, an animation around our project.

00:22

This can be important to explain our project to a wider audience, those outside of the engineering portion of our work,

00:30

so that they understand the intent as well as the general end result of the project.

00:36

It can allay a lot of fears to understand how a project will actually look.

00:40

With that in mind, I am going to come up first and create a new proposal so that we can start this outside of our design area.

00:50

I'll click "Add".

00:51

This will use Option 1 as a basis, but I'm going to call this Visualization.

01:00

Now, the reason I did that was not only because I don't want to mess up Option 1 in any way with anything that I do here,

01:07

but I do actually want to shorten this project up some.

01:10

Because one of the tools. I'm going to use will use the entire length of roadway and we end up spending a lot of time watching that happen.

01:17

So, I'm going to select on the Roadway here and simply right click "Remove Point" on several of those road points.

01:32

And I'm just going to drag this in here so that we can start just before the bridge.

01:38

The idea is that we are going to create a camera path or what InfraWorks calls a storyboard about this animation.

01:47

I'm also going to remove this last out here, so we don't go too far past.
