Instructions

The lessons were developed using the VisitView software. For each lesson download the linked ZIP file. It will extract into a C:\Lessons\SSD\NHCModels# subdirectory (where # represents the number of the lesson: 1, 2, 3, etc.). The preferred screen resolution is 1024x768. (Presentations will run at 800x600 if all other widows are minimized and task bar is hidden.) Run the visitauto.bat file in that directory for continuous playback, or run the visitplay.bat for manual control. The command starts the client, the server and the playback dialog box:

Visit Playback Window

You may control the lesson playback as desired. The Prev and Next buttons step backward and forward one slide. You may alternatively click on any page label to start the playback for that slide.
