System Tracing
System tracing adds capabilities to trace and visualize the most relevant elements connected in your system. The tracing capabilities not only identify the route to these critical elements by highlighting the path, but also provide a clear understanding of the path through an animated visualization. Highlighting various critical components along the path with their name on labels, the system allows easy focus on a specific branch via color coding. Additionally, users can pinpoint the location and activate the room associated with a specific path, giving a clear understanding of the service locations.
After selecting an element right click and choose System Tracing from the menu.
The system trace toolbar will appear in the upper left corner of the view with the start of the system trace beginning from the element that was selected. The endpoint can be set by using the pull-down menu.
Additionally trace lines, labels and coloring along the trace line can be toggled on and off from the system trace toolbar.
Selecting a specific label will show the system trace to that specific element.
Finally, users can select spaces from the menu to better contextualize where the system is in relation to specific rooms. Using the escape key will return to the overall system trace.
