Footfall Response Data

This dialog can be accessed from the “File | Export | Footfall Response (CSV file)” menu command. This allows control of the data written for analysis in the Footfall Response spreadsheet.

Definition

Nodes to export

This is the sets of nodes that comprise a path. These are defined by GSA lists. The user may select none or select one or more of the node lists. Any nodes defined in these lists are automatically added to the nodes exports in the node list.

Modal analysis task

Where there is more than one modal analysis task, the user must select the task to output.
