-The easiest way to create a new movement path is to use the  [[Digitizer Tool|]]. Use the digitizer tool to add points along a rough flight path by digitizing points on a terrain model surface object. After the digitized points have been saved they can be imported and further adjusted within the Movement Path. Note: Do not add more points than necessary. It is much easier to create a smooth flight with a few well placed and evenly spaced points.+The easiest way to create a new movement path is to use the [[:geoscene3d:application:3d_mouse_tools:digitizer_tool|]].
