Dimensions and Direction Settings (Populate Flow)

Set the width of an existing flow, the spacing of lanes within that flow, and the direction in which people walk or run on the flow.

Width

The breadth of the overall flow.

Lane Spacing

The distance between adjacent pedestrian traffic lanes.

Direction

Choose a setting to determine overall motion of the walkers on the flow and the direction of the lanes. The latter parameter is indicated by arrows at the ends of each lane. Each description includes an illustration of a short flow, created from left to right, showing the results on the individual lane directions.

• Forward
  
  All lanes move in the direction in which the flow was created, from start to finish.
• Hug Right (The default.)
  
  Pedestrians keep to the right with respect to the direction they're walking.
• Weave Right
  
  Alternates the travel directions of adjacent lanes, with the rightmost lane traveling in the same direction as the creation of the flow.
• Weave Left
  
  Alternates the travel directions of adjacent lanes, with the rightmost lane traveling in the reverse direction of the creation of the flow.
• Hug Left
  
  Pedestrians keep to the left with respect to the direction they're walking.
• Backward
  
  All lanes move in the reverse direction in which the flow was created, from finish to start.
