In the Flight Path Animation form, the user can define Numbers of Animation Steps and the Camera Pitch Angle (deg) to record the animation.

The flight path can be created by Draw Polyline in 2DView or the user is able to use their own file. Once the file is loaded the number of data point and total length will be calculated automatically ( as shown in Figure 2). It is possible to adjust the height of the polyline along Z-axis by clicking Edit Height button.

In addition, EEMS10 also supports the user to export the flight path animation to the AVI or MP4 file by checking the Output to AVI File or Output to MP4 File box and fill in a name in the File Name box (Figure 2).

Once all setting is checked, the user can click Animate button.
