Previewing Source and Target Mesh

This feature allows you to preview the source and target meshes for scoped bodies. You can preview the source and target mesh on individual bodies or multiple selected bodies across different parts or within the same part. This feature applies only to a Method control set to the Sweep option.


Note:
  • This feature is not supported for thin model sweeping (that is, use of the Sweep mesh method control with Src/Trg Selection set to Manual Thin or Automatic Thin).

  • Refer to Selective Meshing for general information about selective meshing and limitations related to using the Preview Source and Target Mesh feature with selective meshing.


To preview the source and target mesh:

  1. Scope the body or bodies of interest.

  2. Right-click the Mesh object and insert a Method control.

  3. In the Details View, set Method to the Sweep option.

  4. Right-click the Sweep Method option in the tree to display the context menu, or choose the Mesh drop-down menu from the toolbar.

  5. Select Preview> Source and Target Mesh in the context menu or Preview Source and Target Mesh in the drop-down menu. The source and target meshes are displayed when you select the Mesh object.
