Analysis options for Underground Maps

There are certain options you can set when using Underground-specialised maps. You can instruct the software to add specialised Underground map tracks to the Analysis Timeline; you can set absolute or relative 15 and 60-minute intervals; you can set default map sizes and also set default image formats for Snapshot events.

To set Analysis options:

Select Tools > Options > Analysis Options.
Check the box labelled 'Add underground-specialised timeline tracks to new Analysis projects'. This ensures that all projects have relevant Underground Map tracks on the Analysis Timeline.
For the option 'Timing for 15-minute interval events', select one of the two options:
- Absolute – this will set the intervals at 15, 30, 45 minutes past the hour.
- Relative to model start time – this will set intervals at periods relative to the runtime of the model (so, for example, if a model begins at 13:05, the first 15-minute interval will expire at 13:20).
Select a 'Default image size for map saves': it is probably best to keep the default values of 1024 x 480 but you can enter your preferred dimensions in pixels.
If you change these dimensions but later wish to restore the original dimensions, click the Restore default sizes button.
Select a 'Default image format for maps' from the drop-down list ( 'png', 'bmp' or 'jpg').
Click Apply to save your settings, or click OK to save your settings and close the dialog.
