Celestia Forums

Hi, I am spanish and new in this forums, if i sound weird is because of that.

I am trying to view only the planet i choose but when I select not to show planets in the Options menu, all of them dissapear. What i want is for example, select on planet of saturno, and make all the rest dissapear, so I can record a video only for those Planets I want.

Is there any way to make dissapear all planets but one?

In data/solarsys.ssc, comment out or remove planets you don't want leaving only the one you are interested in.
You'll need to restart celestia each time you edit the file.

I reccomend you take a backup of the file before you do this so you can restore later.

thanks a lot, the idea of this purpose is that i wanted to make an animation and take each planet in saturn orbit, the problem is that the other planets get in the way when i want to make the movie, and the new problem I have with your idea is that if I close celestia each time then i would loose the point of view from where i take the movie, but maybe there is a way to save the exact camera position so I can close and open celestia at the exat same point.

Thanks again for your help

That's exactly what celURL's are for. At any point you can type ctrl/C which stores the position in the cut/paste buffer as a celURL which can then
be pasted into any HTML page as a link.
Clicking on it then starts Celestia (if not already started) and takes you to that position.

eg. Click on this one: cel://SyncOrbit/Earth/2007-01-15T06:10: ... 659&lm=775

Capitan, muchas gracias por todas las explicaciones, intentare hacer lo de los planetas, gracias a estos 2 trucos que me has dicho podre sacar los gifs. Cuando lo tenga echo lo posteare aqui para compartirlo y que veas lo que pretendia hacer.

Saludos

PD: Sorry I was so happy to have the problem solved I had completely forgotten I am in an english forum xD , the traslation from above:
Captain, thanks a lot for all the explanations, I'll try to do the planets thing, I will be able to do some gifs with these 2 tricks u gave me.
When I jave all done I'll post it here to share so u can see what i was trying to do

I have a new problem now, when y erase saturn, all its moon dissapear, how can i make it invisible?

You can insert

Class "invisible"

in the definition of the planet.

You do not have to edit the solarsys.ssc catalog file itself to make this change. In the /extras/ directory where you are developing your project, you can create an SSC catalog which contains this:

WOW selden, this is great, thanks a lot , just what i was looking for ^^

You are very welcome.
