Cameras that are on the same layout can be combined in Groups. Groups are convenient when working with a large number of cameras and in the case of extensive projects. In the PDF report, cameras can be divided into Groups. In the PDF report, you can include drawings of separated fragments for each group of cameras.
As well as positions, Groups can be used to model multisensor cameras.
The panel can be stretched horizontally and vertically by grabbing by the mouse. You can drag rows of camera groups with the mouse on the left edge. The order of the camera groups in the table determines the order of the camera groups in the PDF report.
Groups have the following parameters, which can be quickly changed by noting checkboxes in the table or editing values:
