What's New in LEGION 2023?
LEGION 2023 brings multiple modelling, analysis and usability improvements across the LEGION Data Template, LEGION Model Builder, and LEGION Simulator.
LEGION Model Builder
- Simultaneously edit multiple Service EDOTs in Service Timetables.
- Modify Platform edges without deleting and redrawing the Platform (‘unbind’ and ‘rebind’ Platform edges).
- Automatically detect, alert, and unbind Platform edge CAD when deleting CAD Layers where elements are used for Platform edges.
- Select CAD on locked CAD Layers when defining PTI Carriages.
- During CAD import, restore the last-used Import, Simulation and Autonavigation tick box selections for imported CAD Layers.
- Automatically unbind Platform edge CAD when overwriting existing CAD Layers during CAD import.
- Assign entity delays by Entity Type or Final Destination in Delay Points, Gates, and Mesoscopic Transit Zones.
LEGION Simulator
- Cameras now show their exact field of view in the workspace.
- Precisely manipulate the size, shape, and position of Cameras, both in the workspace and in Camera property dialogs.
- Camera previews show the exact field of view in Camera property dialogs and the Layout Designer.
- An adjustable ‘Whole Model’ Camera covers the entire model. Its aspect ratio can be modified to suit output requirements.
- Global and per-project defaults to help create consistent recordings:
- All new Cameras are automatically initialised with the configurable default Camera aspect, to help efficiently generate consistent outputs.
- All new Map images, Graph images, and video outputs are automatically initialised to the configurable default sizes, file formats, and aspect ratios.
- Camera transitions are now set in Camera activation Events on the Timeline.
- Timeline tooltips show Camera transition details.
- In the Timeline, ‘Active Camera’ is the default option for Record AVI Events.
- Configuration dialogs for saving images of Maps, Graphs, and screen snapshots offer a wider range of aspect ratios and sizes. Default sizes and/or aspect ratios are selected automatically, making image generation more efficient and consistent.
- Direction Modifiers can affect entities in specified Mesoscopic Transit Zones.
- Option to simulate Carriage interiors of PTI Train Services mesoscopically, which helps simulate train services where extremely high pedestrian densities occur, for instance peak commuter metro services.
- New default Visual Configs dedicated to video and Map recordings.
- Entity Tracking Filter content is saved to, and restored from, the ANA file.
LEGION Model Builder and LEGION Simulator
- Rename tool automatically detects the most appropriate operating mode, based on current selections and search results.
- ‘Copy with Basepoint’ right-click menu option for selected objects and CAD elements.
- The ‘Copy’ and ‘Copy with Basepoint’ tools support repeated duplication.
- Filter property pages automatically expand the contents of the ‘selected’ tree, so filter content is visible immediately.
- A new toolbar buttons enables rapid switching between white and black backgrounds.
