2 Columbus 2
Since Columbus 2 has around 100 head objects
and key objects, they have been divided into
groups. Besides the 2D objects, there is now
also a wide variety of 3D objects available, some
of which are animated, thus helping you make
your project look even more appealing.
Another interesting feature provided by
Columbus 2 is the ability to draw the route in
advance. This means you can display the entire
route on the map in advance from the starting
point to the finishing point and in a different
color before the route is subsequently traced
out during the animation. The Line type route
option can be found in the Global settings. You
can use it to activate the Draw route option. You
can then also modify the color of this line. If you
want the line to appear slightly transparent and
somewhat thinner than the animated route, you
can set an alpha value of, say, 20% for the color
when you select the line color.
