Show a "Motion Sweep View" When Placing Animatronics

[BrandonR]

Depending on which animatronic scenery you're placing, it can be challenging to make sure it won't interfere with anything else while the animatronic goes through its full range of motion.

It would be helpful if when you were placing an animatronic item, instead of displaying the animatronic, it would instead show a "motion sweep" view that shows the complete range of motion (in a static manner) for that animatronic. Sort of like this picture of this broom shows its motion:

"Onion skinning", as it's known in the biz [wink]

Personally I would like this for flat rides as well. It would be nice for them to show their default animation cycle while you are working out where to place it.

It's nothing necessary but it would come in handy.

Yes that looks like the right term! Thanks!

Agreed, I was having a challenging time placing the "Forge" ride so that its seats wouldn't intersect with a path above it during operation.
