Connectivity Options

Use the connectivity options to indicate the number of shared blocking elements connected to a blocking face or edge.

• To indicate the number of connected edges by color, enable Edges.
  • Red indicates the edge is connected to only one face or it is a perimeter edge for surface blocking.
  • Dark blue indicates two connected faces.
  • Pink indicates three connected faces.
  • Yellow indicates an interior edge in volume blocking, connected to more than three faces.
• To indicate which block faces are shared between two volume blocks, enable Faces.

Image a) shows surface blocking with Shaded enabled. The rectangular area is mapped while the circular area is free. The blue line is the edge separating the mapped surface blocking from the free surface blocking. In Image b) Shaded is disabled. The image shows volume blocking with edge and face connectivity enabled. Edge coloring indicates the number of connected faces and the green surfaces indicate shared faces.
