Building a Visionary World

Use pencil and paper to design the scenes and layouts you will use in your world and how you will navigate between the scenes. You can also use other tools, such as Microsoft PowerPoint or a Web authoring tool, to create a storyboard with active navigation.

Choose File New to create a new world. A new world with a default scene appears in the Scenes panel.

Choose Insert Data Source to create a data source. Use the Query wizard to create the data source and then edit the data source in the Query Editor.

In the Scenes panel, double-click the default scene to display the Scene Editor in design mode.

Choose Insert Layout to display the Layout wizard.

Use the Layout wizard to specify how the layout displays the data source.

Use the Object Inspector, Scene Editor, and Data Element Editor to modify the color, size, and position of the objects in your scene.

Switch to runtime mode to test the data retrieval and navigation of your world.

Choose File Save to give the world a name and save it to a file system or database.

Choose World Publish World to save your Visionary world as a component file to be viewed with Visionary Viewer.
