Nodes and paths are space markup elements that define the locations of agents in the space:

• The node defines a location where agents can reside.
• The path graphically defines a movement path for agents.

Nodes can be connected to paths. Together they form a network. When an agent moves inside a network, it always takes the shortest route.

There are three shapes of nodes at your disposal:

•  Rectangular node. Use this to draw a rectangular node. This node can have speed and access restrictions.
•  Point node. Use this to draw a transit transportation node in a network. When you connect two paths together, a point node is automatically created in the connection point.
•  Polygonal node. Use this to draw a node of complex form. This node can have speed and access restrictions.

To define specific waiting points inside rectangular and polygonal nodes, use attractors.
