There are four default views that are handled specially. These are named: View 1, View 2, View 3, and View 4. These views will not be included in CFD-Post reports. However, any of these views can be viewed in any of the viewports, and you can create new views or figures that will be shown in reports.
The visibility of an object is specified by the VIEW that should display the object, rather than the object specifying whether it is visible. That is, the object is made visible in a certain view--it is no longer a property of the object.
The VIEW object has a parameter named Object Visibility
List that is set to a comma-separated list of object paths
that should be visible in the VIEW object.
Here is an example of the VIEW object CCL
to define the visibility for the view:
VIEW: View 1 Object Visibility List=/PLANE:Plane 1, /VECTOR:Vector 4END
Note: The Object Visibility List parameter
should contain only object paths, and not object names.
Setting the Visibility parameter on an
object has no effect.
For session files, there are command actions that enable you to change the visibility of objects:
>show>hide>toggle
Each of these actions take an object name, path, or list of names and paths for which to show, hide, or toggle the visibility. Also, the actions optionally take a parameter that specifies the view to show the object. The visibility action parameters can alternatively take names or entire paths to specify the objects and the views.
Example 1: The following action
will show the object /PLANE:Plane 1 in all
existing views, including user figures.
>show Plane 1
Example 2: The following action
will hide both /PLANE:Plane 1 and /PLANE:Plane 2 in view /VIEW:View 1.
>hide Plane 1, /PLANE:Plane 2, view=View 1
Example 3: If Plane 1 is visible, and Plane 2 is not visible in /VIEW:View 2, the following action will make /PLANE:Plane 1 not visible, and /PLANE:Plane 2 visible
in view /VIEW:View 2:
>toggle Plane 1, Plane 2, view=/VIEW:View 2
