A more detailed representation of the CAD data, showing more isobars than in the Simple representation. For triangulated surface data, a detailed representation will show all the surface triangles.

A wireframe representation of CAD data or a "Hard Feature" representation of triangulated surface data, including surface boundaries as hard features.

This wireframe representation requires less memory than the Simple option. This option is beneficial for simplifying more complicated models, and making them easier to translate or rotate.

This representation uses the least memory. This option is recommended for simplifying models that are extremely complicated.

The surfaces are drawn using lines, in either simple or detailed formats.

A solid or shaded representation of the surface data, which can be either simple or detailed.

A combination of the Solid and Wireframe representations of the surface data.

This will convert the color geometry into grey scale.

This will show the surface as transparent.

When enabled, arrows indicating the positive normal direction of each visible surface will be displayed.

When enabled, the part color is used to indicate the positive normal side of each visible surface. The reverse side of each surface is colored gray.

This will show the thickness assigned for the surface.

Selecting this option will display the reference tetra mesh sizes upon the selected visible surfaces.

Selecting this option will display reference hexa sizes upon the selected visible surfaces.

Displays the names of the visible surfaces.

Gives information about a selected surface, including the surface and part names.

To employ this option, select Surfaces>Show Surface Info. Proceed to select a surface with the left mouse button and accept the selection with the middle mouse button. Information on the surface or surfaces will be listed in the Messages window.

Blanks the selected surfaces.

Restores blanked surfaces.

Displays the selected surfaces only.

Displays points that are attached to the selected surface.

Displays curves that are attached to the selected surface.

To rename the selected surfaces.
