Two types of animations can be created from a Vectorworks 3D drawing—orbit point and move along path. The orbit point animator rotates by a specified number of degrees around a 3D object or selected point in the drawing. The move along path animator moves through the 3D drawing, following a specified path.
In Perspective view, only the portion of the model within the perspective frame (see Cropped and Uncropped Perspective Views) is visible in the animation.
Windows-generated and Mac-generated movies can be viewed on either platform. Simply double-click the file to open it, or open it from your preferred viewer.
On Mac and Windows 7/8 platforms, an .mov (MPEG4) file with H.264 compression is created; on Windows XP and Vista an avi file with optional MJPEG compression is created.
