3D Full Screen Navigation

Presenting history with a unique perspective.

With Bee Docs Timeline 3D, you can walk an audience through your timeline with an interactive full-screen 3D view of your events. Use the keyboard or an Apple Remote to zoom into the details, highlight events, and toggle between 2D and 3D perspectives.

Enter Full Screen

To begin full screen mode, use the “3D” toolbar item or use the Command-F keyboard shortcut.

2D vs 3D Perspectives

Full screen mode can display timelines in both 2D and 3D perspectives. To toggle between these two perspectives, use the space bar or the large center button on your Apple Remote.

Zooming

When you are viewing your timeline in 2D perspective, you can use the return key to toggle between two different zoom levels. One zoom level fits your entire timeline within the boundaries of the screen. The other level zooms your timeline to fit the height within the screen boundaries and allows the chart to automatically scroll horizontally.

Highlighting Events

Use the right arrow and left arrow keys on the keyboard or the right and left buttons on the Apple Remote to traverse the events in chronological order.

If you are using multiple event rows in your timeline, use the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard or up and down buttons on the Apple Remote to switch rows.

Exit Full Screen

To exit full screen mode, use the ESC key.

Tips

  • If iTunes is running, the Apple Remote may simultaneously control both Bee Docs Timeline in full screen and iTunes. We recommend quitting iTunes before presenting timelines using the Apple Remote.
