Display Settings
Color Pick a color to display it in the view.
Mesh Color Pick the color to be used to display the mesh.
Render Mode Display it as a solid surface, as a wireframe, or as a solid surface with wireframe mesh. For a surface in a 3D mesh model, you can also select to display as a solid surface with wireframe mesh and nodes, as a solid surface with nodes, as a wireframe, as a wireframe with nodes or as nodes only.
Render modes. Left to right; solid, solid with wireframe mesh, and wireframe mesh only. click to enlarge
Transparency Make it semi-transparent. Adjust the opacity value from the Property Inspector.
Lighting Turn a lighting effect on or off. The lighting effect can enhance the visibility of contours.
Contours Show or hide contour lines.
Contour Labels Show labels on contour lines.
Contouring Options Open the Contouring Options form to specify a wide range of contouring settings.
Colorset Blending Choose between default and blended colorsets. Blended means that the full colorset range is used to render from one value to the next value, so that you do not lose resolution due to discrete steps in data.
Interpolation This display setting affects the (color) interpolation of the object displayed in your view. Without interpolation, the color boundaries are sharp; with interpolation switched on, the boundaries are smoothed.
Create
Create Point Set Using Element Center Create a point set using element center as location for the nodes in the point set.
Create Point Set Using Element Nodes Create a point set using element nodes as locations for the nodes in the point set.
Create Node Property From Volumes Create a node property from the selected volume(s) that you can use for further calculations and visualization. The volume can either be the full volume, a compartment or a zone.
Create Element Property From Volumes Create an element property from the selected volume(s) that you can use for further calculations and visualization. The volume can either be the full volume, a compartment or a zone.
Get updates from DMS DMS can hold multiple version of a single object. One of these is always marked as 'Latest'. The latest version represents the final state of an object.
The 'Get Latest' option is only enabled when you have a version of an object that is parallel to the 'Latest' version. Select this option to replace your version with the latest version.
Properties
Set Active Property Select a property for display in the 3D View. You can also select properties to view using the visibility checkboxes in the JewelExplorer.
Default Geometry Properties
Opens a predefined list with properties. When you select a property, the values for this property are calculated, the property is added to the JewelExplorer and displayed in the active view. If you update the geometry of the object, the property is automatically recalculated. For tri-meshes and 3D meshes, you can choose from multiple mesh quality properties to help you assess the quality of the mesh.
