Ambiguous Named Metavalues

We've seen that many metaattributes have values that are named, ie named metavalues, to represent various possible settings. For example, a camera or moving object has a solvermode with values such as automatic.

Exercise: list all possible solvermodes.

It's also the case that trackers have a goldenvalue to distinguish between automatic and supervised (golden) trackers.

Exercise: list all possible goldenvalues. How many are there really?

That creates an ambiguity in what automatic means: does it mean the

automatic solving mode, or that a tracker is automatic-ally generated.

Most of the time, Synthia will be able to figure out what's what, based on what kind of objects are involved. In other cases, an error message may inform you of the ambiguity, or you might get multiple interpretations.
