The display options for Vertices are shown below.
- On surfaces
To turn the display of vertices on surfaces ON or OFF.
- Periodic
To turn the display of vertices that are marked as periodic ON or OFF.
- Names
Displays the names of the vertices.
- Proj type
Vertices will be tagged according to type:
p: Associated to a prescribed point (red).
c: Associated to a curve (green).
s: Associated to a surface (white).
v: Associated to an interior, volume, or vertex (blue).
- Indices
Displays the block indices at each vertex location.
- Numbers
Vertices will be displayed with unique numbers assigned to them during creation of the blocks.
- Show Hidden
Toggles the display of hidden vertices using the same format (type, indices, or numbers) as visible vertices.
When creating block topology, some splits may not be propagated through the entire extent of the blocking. To maintain structured mesh, hidden vertices are placed at locations where splits would occur if fully propagated.
Note: Hidden vertices are not selectable for merging, moving, showing info, or any such action in which you are required to select a vertex.
Tip: You can also identify the presence of hidden vertices using the Show Edge Info command. See Edges.
- Show Vertex Info
Vertex number, corresponding block indices, and location are displayed in the message window.
