Dynamite VSP Parameter Instancing
Parameter instancing is a new concept in Dynamite VSP which allows geometric parameters to be shared between multiple
objects of the basic type.
In some cases, the resulting geometry might be entirely different. This is because although the basic object profile is instanced, the parent shape that defines the overall path of the object remains independent.
Parameter Instancing and Swept Objects
A good example of this technique is the modelling of two bridge decks in Dynamite VSP sharing a single swept object style.
Each of these bridge decks could have a different overall length and longitudinal path (defined by the unique parent shape in each case). However, the cross sectional profile of the bridge (defined by the basic swept object parameters) is two instances of the same set of basic parameters. This means that any modifications to either bridge deck profile will automatically be reflected in the other bridge.
Parameter Instancing and other object types
Parameter instancing in Dynamite VSP is applicable to swept objects, rail objects, road markings and building objects. All of these object types share the same basic concept - a proprietary Dynamite VSP geometry modifier applied to any given parent shape.
Instanced objects can be linked and unlinked at any time. This unique Dynamite VSP concept provides great potential for
building even highly intelligent links and dependencies into your visualisation models.
