Tutorial Task #8
Creating Wormholes
You link one scene in a Visionary world to another with a
Wormhole. Wormholes also allow you to show a portion of the target scene while still in the originating scene. In this task, you create two wormholes to view two different scenes: Sales and Backlog.
Insert a new scene and rename it Overview. See task #4 for details.
In the World Manager, click the Graphics tab to display the Primitives button.
In the Primitives panel, click the Wormhole object.
In the Scene Editor, drag to create a frame (rubber band) where you want the wormhole to appear.
In the Wormhole dialog box, select Orders for the destination.
Repeat the preceding three steps to insert a second wormhole.
Right-click Wormhole1 and select Properties.
From the Object Inspector list box, select Wormhole1.SceneParameters1 and enter "n" as the value of Sbacklog.
Make sure you retain the pair of double-quotes.
Right-click Wormhole2 and select Properties.
From the Object Inspector list box, select Wormhole2.SceneParameters1 and enter "y" as the value of Sbacklog.
Click Runtime Mode to test. You should see two pie charts similar to the graphics that follow.
