The Pathline toolbox controls the display of pathlines.
- If the Pathline toolbox is not visible, display it by clicking
the Toolbox menu and selecting Pathline.

assign default settings to the selected tab. Default settings are given in
parentheses below.
- The Appearance tab allows you to:
- Select Line to show pathlines as lines.
- Select Tube to show pathlines as narrow tubes.
- Set the pathline tube diameter. (Model Viewer determines a default tube diameter of 1. To
increase the diameter, specify a value greater than 1. The decrease the
diameter, specify a value smaller than 1.)
- The Color tab allows you to set the travel times at the red and blue endpoints
of the color spectrum. Either red or blue may serve as the early time.
- The Threshold tab allows you to:
- Select No threshold to turn off thresholding.
- Select Threshold by simulation time to show the pathline segments
having travel times up to the time at the current display.
- Select Threshold by time range to show only those pathline segments for
which the travel time is within the mininum and maximum times specified in
the text boxes.
- Set the minimum and maximum times for the threshold range.
