You can choose which 3D Entity characters to include in, or exclude from, simulations by using the Entity Manager to assign them to the available Entity Types. Please note that the Entity Manager only becomes available after you have loaded a data file.

To include or exclude Entity characters:

1. Select Tools > Entity Manager.

   All available 3D characters are loaded and then the Entity Manager dialog is displayed. This contains a list of Entity Types on the left and a series of thumbnail images of all the available character models on the right.

   
   
   

   When a character is included, it appears clearly and in full colour; when a character is excluded, it appears muted or ‘greyed out’. In the picture below, the character on the left is included, the one on the right has been excluded.

   
   
   

   When you first open the Entity Manager, all characters are included by default for each Entity Type. If you want to see larger versions of the thumbnails, select the Large Thumbnails option.

2. To include or exclude characters as part of an Entity Type, first click on the appropriate Entity Type from the left-hand list. By default, all available Entity characters will be included in the Entity Type.
   • To exclude an Entity character from the Entity Type, double-click its thumbnail or right-click on the thumbnail and select Exclude.
   • To include an excluded Entity character, double-click its thumbnail or right-click on the thumbnail and select Include.
   Note: The majority of our 3D characters are provided by aXYZ Design.
3. Repeat step 2 for all the available Entity Types.
4. Click OK to close the Entity Manager.
