WCTC 3.3.1: User Navigation and Menus: 2D Nonlinear Navigation Example
This video focuses on creating non-linear navigation and menus in WorkLink Create. The lessons to be learnt include:
-
Building Nonlinear Navigation:
-
Creation of a menu for an instructional sequence.
-
Introduction of three steps: Inside View, Display View, and Charger View.
-
-
Custom UI Template:
- Modification of a Content template, repurposing headers for navigation.
- Switching from linear to non-linear navigation by using headers as navigational elements.
-
Visual Communication for Selection:
- Visual cues for selected views: Inside, Display, and Charger.
- Aesthetic choices for highlighting selected options in the UI template.
-
Simulating Nonlinear Navigation:
- Introduction to simulation using the spacebar.
- Testing the functionality of the created UI for switching between views.
-
Overview Button Setup:
- Brief pause to set up the Overview button in the menu, enabling navigation to any step within the overview.
-
Isolating Views:
- Simplified demonstration of isolating specific views (Inside, Display, Charger) by manipulating object visibility.
-
Simulation Test:
- Use of simulation (Shift + spacebar) to navigate between different views and the main menu.
- Demonstration of the created non-linear navigation system.
-
Conclusion:
- Recap of the steps taken to achieve non-linear navigation and menu setup.
- Acknowledgment of the simplified approach, with potential for further enhancements and details in future modules.
