When Applied

Application: Restore Models on StartupOffWhether to keep track of open models, motions and camera views so that they are restored on opening the application.Exit/Re-entry into the application.

Paths: Geometry Search Path

<OpenSim Install Directory>/Geometry

A list of directories separated by a semi-colon that specify where OpenSim should look for geometry files (.vtp, .stl files). When a model is loaded, the directory containing the .osim file is searched for geometry files, as well as a directory with the name "Geometry" that lives underneath it if exists. If a file is not found in these 2 locations, the directories specified in "Geomerty Path" are searched in order. The paths are specified using the Unix format and are absolute (rather than relative).

Paths: Scripts Path<OpenSim Install Resources Directory>/Code/ScriptsGUDirectory containing OpenSim GUI scripts. These scripts will appear in the scripts drop down menu. See __40__ Scripting for more information.Exit/Re-entry into the application to see the Scripts list updated.

DisplayOffsetDir

X

Direction to offset display of models after the first one is loaded (X, Y or Z)

Applied when the next model is loaded

Debug

0

Debug level (for Advanced Users). Debug Level 1 displays output about model conversion (i.e., updating from previous versions of OpenSim) to the Messages window . Debug Level 2 adds output about adding objects to system. Debug Level 3 adds output about deserialization of all model properties. This information can be helpful for troubleshooting, slows operations down due to I/O.

Experimental Marker Size1.0Visualizer: Experimental Marker Radius (mm)10Display size of experimental markersWhen a new data set that contains markers is loaded.
Joint Frame Scale1.0Scaling factor for the joint frames when displayed (Parent/Child frames). useful only in cases where model units are too large or too small.Next time the Joint frame is hidden/shown
Visualizer: Muscle Display Radius (mm).0058Radius of the sphere representing muscle points and cylinders representing muscles in the 3D view windowNext time a model is loaded.

Whether to keep track of open models, motions and camera views so that they are restored on opening the application.

Exit/Re-entry into the application.

Save Movie FramesOffWhen set to off, using the movie creation feature will create a standard .avi file. When set to On, movie creation will result in a set of still frames (.tiff) in a common folder. This preference is a workaround for 64-bit machines, which do not allow the creation of .avi movies.Next time a movie is created.
