- be asked if doing it or not.

- on the right will be cleared
- and the film will appear on

-
- \16

- MAGNIFY
-
- With this option you can
- set how far the antenne should
- be. (Or you can set the
- frequency, but these two
- definitions are equivalent!)
- A little number means that
- the antenne is far, and a big
- number means that the antenne
- is near the viewer.
- |
-
- \25
- DISTANCE
-
- This option doesn't do the
- same as the MAGNIFY item. This
- one is used by the perspective
- drawing.
- |
-
- \26

- is near the viewer.

- number of them.
- |
-
- \28
- ROTATED FILM ON
-
- If you set the ROTATED FILM
- switch, you will get a very
- interesting 3-D film. Its
- effect is strange: As if the
- viewer went around the antenne
- while it is radiating...
- |
-
- \29
- ROTATED FILM OFF
-
- Having switched off this,
- you will get a 3-D film, where
- the viewer stays in the same
- place all the time.
- |
-
- \30

-
- This option allows you to
- select a high drawing quality

- computing.
- |
-
- \31
- DRAW IN NORMAL QUALITY
-
- This is default value of the

- This option means that the
- computer will work very fast
- but the quality won't be
- guaranteed.
- |
