plan or the 3D view, you create a new UGR point. The observer is placed
at a standard height of 1.2 metres and has a vision range angle of +15 and -15 degrees. The new UGR
observer is positioned in the scene tree as follows:

UGR observer in the scene tree

The following parameters can be set for the UGR observer:

Viewing direction: this determines the viewing direction in degrees, with 0 degrees being north.
The direction can also be changed interactively via the Rotate tool.
Angle -: this delimits the viewing direction in the negative direction (in the counterclockwise
direction).
Angle +: this delimits the viewing direction in the positive direction (in the clockwise direction).
Increment: this shows the distance in degrees at which the observer is measured.

Inclination: this shows the inclination of the observer between -90 and +90 degrees. With a positive
angle, the observer looks upward, with a negative angle, the observer looks downward.
If a UGR observer is selected, the observer tools appear in the ribbon bar. The observer's eld of vision
can be checked here with an animation. Further information on the observer tools
may be found in the chapter entitled <link>GR Observer</link>.

After a scene has been calculated, the output for the glare rating can be opened via the output tree
under "Calculation results/UGR“. The maximum UGR value is marked on the output.
In addition, the glare in the angle range is depicted as a red line on a diagram. At the top right of the
output, the observer's viewing direction is set out. If glare occurs in this area, this will
be marked with a red line.
