Using the Scenario 360 Help Wizard

When you want to learn how to perform a specific task in Scenario 360 or need more information about a related concept, use the Scenario 360 Help system. You can get help in a variety of ways:

• In the application window, using tooltips and links to FAQs.

• On the toolbar using the What's This?  button.

• In the Help system, using the Contents, Index, and Search tabs

Getting help using tooltips and the What's This? button

A quick way to learn what the Scenario 360 application can do is to get help about the buttons and menu commands you see in the application window. To do this, position the mouse pointer over a button or menu command for a second or two.  The name of the item will then pop up in a small box. Simultaneously, a brief description appears in the status bar at the bottom of the application window. To quickly display a longer description of a Scenario 360 toolbar button or menu command, click the What's This? button on the ArcMap toolbar, then click the button or menu item you're interested in.

If your operating system is not compatible with Windows Help, a Windows notification will appear. Follow the steps in the notification to install Windows Help.

Getting help using the Scenario 360 help system

The Scenario 360 help system contains a navigation pane—with Contents, Index, Search, and Glossary tabs—and a topic pane for viewing help topics. Both panes are visible in the viewer at all times, allowing you to keep track of where you are in the Contents structure of the help system. You can move or resize the navigation or topic windows at any time.

The topics in the Scenario 360 help system are organized around the main tasks you want to complete; they also provide the concepts behind the tasks. Use the help Contents to look up general topics and see how they are organized. You can search through the Index by entering keywords that identify your task. Alternatively, use the Search option to find specific words or phrases in the help topics.

Right-click in a help topic to display and use the shortcut menu for printing help or copying text in topics.

You can turn off the highlighting feature for search words by clicking the Options menu at the top of the help window then click Search Highlight Off.

Getting help using 3D

Scenario 3D has its own Help system. Access it from the Scenario 3D Exporter toolbar in ArcMap or from the top menu in the Scenario 3D Viewer.

Scenario 360 runs as an ArcGIS extension. For ArcGIS/ArcMap questions, please see the ArcGIS help.
