Clicking in the box will toggle the visibility of the master topology. The master topology is shown as violet line segments.

You can also change the Master Topology Visibility setting from the shortcut menu after selecting and right-clicking the layer(s) in the object selector, or right-clicking a layer in the viewer.

Clicking in the box will toggle the visibility of the topology. The topology is shown as yellow line segments.

You can also change the Topology Visibility setting from the shortcut menu after selecting and right-clicking the layer(s) in the object selector, or right-clicking a layer in the viewer.

Selecting Refined Mesh Visibility causes the refined mesh to appear in the viewer. On the first and last layers, the refined mesh shows the 3D mesh. On intermediate layers, the refined mesh shows an approximation of the 3D mesh.

You can also change the Refined Mesh Visibility setting from the shortcut menu after selecting and right-clicking the layer(s) in the object selector, or right-clicking a layer in the viewer.

When Refined Mesh Visibility is selected, the following refined-mesh quality statistics—Mesh Measure—are available for viewing:

To display problem areas in the refined mesh, double-click one of the Mesh Measure statistics in the list. Figure 10.17: Refined Mesh Showing Areas of Unacceptable Minimum Face Angle shows an example of problem areas, shown with thick red lines, for the Minimum Face Angle statistic.

The Mesh Limits object holds the criteria that determine if the Mesh Measure statistics are acceptable.

If, for a given layer, Refined Mesh Visibility is turned on and either the Minimum Face Angle or Maximum Face Angle is outside the applicable limit, the layer will be listed in red text in the selector tree.
