Link by Final Destination
This method links Entities to intermediate objects according to their Final Destinations (for example, you may wish to link all Entities heading to a national rail platform to a waiting area near an announcement board). In this case, you would link from a Direction Modifier to a Waiting Zone, using ‘Link by Final Destination’ (the Platform).
To link by Final Destination:
- Ensure the Edit <object> dialog is displayed.
- Click on the Links tab.
- Select Link by Final Destination.
- Click OK to close the dialog box.
-
Add links between the origin object and the target object or
objects.
For each link you place, the ‘Link Parameters’ dialog box is displayed. The portion labelled ‘Objects’ contains details of the origin object and the target object it is linking to.
-
In the lower portion labelled ‘Linking by Final Destination’,
drag and drop destinations you want to assign to the linked object from the
Final Destinations ‘Available’ pane into the Final Destinations ‘Selected’
pane.
You can also do this by using the following buttons to move the available destinations from the Available pane of the dialog box to the Selected pane:
- To move all Entity Types into the Selected pane, click the >> button.
- To move a single Entity Type into the Selected pane, click on the item and click the > button.
- To move all Entity Types back into the Available pane, click the << button.
- To move a single Entity Type back into the Available pane, click on the item and click the < button.
- Click OK to save your changes.
