Selection – Flash #
Description #
The Flash action is used to create a visual effect on the designated 3D objects (models, groups, branches, and/or volumes). The visual effect is a repetitive on/off cycle (i.e. flashing) of highlighting, visibility, or transparency.
The Flash action is used to draw the user’s attention to a specific object(s).
Properties #

The time (in seconds) when the action will activate.
The Start Time is relative to the timeline in which the action occurs (not the absolute time from when the experience starts).

The time interval between two consecutive flashes.
Operation Type
The type of flash to be performed. Options are highlight, visibility, or transparency.
Duration (in seconds)
The length of time (in seconds) that the flash operation will occur for in total.
Leave blank to keep the flash operation active for the duration of the timeline.
Models, Volumes, Branches, Groups
Choose the object type (models, groups, branches, volumes) which you would like to flash. Then click the Start Selection button to select the desired objects from the Workspace.
Once you have selected the object(s), click the End Selection button to stop the selection process. You can then click the Edit Selection button to select additional objects or click the red X next to an object to remove it from the list.
When Edit Selection is active, you can click the Clear All button to remove all objects of that type.
Multiple objects can be defined as part of this action, including objects from different types (models, groups, branches, and volumes).
