Drawing Delay Points

In common with Waiting Zones, Delay Points require you to place Dispersal Points. These instruct Entities on how to diffuse within the area of the Delay Point.

Tip: The kind of dispersion that Dispersal Points counteract may actually be useful for modelling train carriages where density is low and people tend to disperse to the perimeters.

To draw a Delay Point:

Follow the procedures: To draw a spatial object and Placing a Focal Segment .
You are prompted to place one or more Dispersal Points within the area of the object.
Click once within the area of the Delay Point to place a Dispersal Point. It appears as a red circle centred on the cursor’s cross-hairs and is labelled N0 in yellow.
Repeat step 2 for as many Dispersal Points as you wish to place.
To finish placing Dispersal Points, press Enter.
The Edit Delay Point dialog is displayed, open on the Parameters tab.

See "Setting Delay Point parameters".
