Background

Using smart lines and Accudraw, we create camera paths and focus points that dictate the camera movements as we fly through our model.

Steps to Accomplish

Open your 3D model
Select Place Smart line
Press F11 to activate Accudraw
Snap in a point and press key O to indicate that this is the origin in the Accudraw compass
Press E to change Accudraw direction
Draw the line or patch to follow
Using element information change from general tab the line class from primary to construction so the line is hidden during animation
Use Utilities menu\Render\Fly though camera settings
Set the number of frame (frame=Number of cameras placed in different points)
Fly though producer\Tool\define a patch-> Identify Element at path beginning and identify ending of the path
Define a target point
Tools\preliminary view \view
Once everything seems to be ok you can create a video
Utilities menu\Render\Fly though
Tool\Record\select directory to save video-> Select type of sequence of recording ( example AVI) ->ok
