“3D” Tab
This tab collects general parameters related to 3D modeling:
The “Size” group includes definitions of 3D node size
(in pixels), and the sizes of coordinate systems and
arrows (in respective measurement units). 3D element
sizes can be arbitrarily defined at user preference.
Units. Defines measurement units of the elements and
operations on the 3D scene.
One color. Sets the display mode of using one color for
all 3D elements. This color overrides element own
settings.
Color. Defines the color for all 3D elements when one
color mode is set. The color can be selected from the
menu of colors.
3D Triad Orientation. Defines the system of a 3D
model views in the world coordinate system. The value
“XY-Top” corresponds to the choice when axes
direction of the “Top view” coincides with the
directions of X and Y axes of the world coordinate
system. The “ISO” setting defines the ISO standard
orientation.
Its orientation is used when creating projections, as well as in the commands of 3D window view direction
(«Front View», «Left View», «Right View», «Axonometric View», etc.).
The “Workplanes” group defines the mode of displaying the workplane names and types. These parameters
are displayed in the upper-left corner of the respective workplanes.
Draw Name. Sets the mode of displaying the workplane name according to the workplane type. Note that
changing the workplane type does not affect the name. The name can be changed manually under the
workplane parameters.
Draw Type. Sets the mode of displaying the workplane type (Front, Left, etc.).
Mesh Density. Defines mesh density of the 3D model. The parameter varies from 0 to 1. The greater the
parameter, the more accurate is rendering of the model on the 3D view, while more time is taken for
regeneration of the 3D model and more memory used. If the mesh density is defined by a variable that
takes a value less than 0, then 0 is used for computations; should it be greater than 1, then 1 is used.
“Mates” group of parameters define performance of mates solver only for regenerating a 3D model.
Precision. Specifies accuracy of mates calculations when regenerating a model.
Time. Defines the time limit of mates solver calculations. The limit is set as factor between 0 and 1
corresponding to “less” and “more” respectively.
View Orientation. This parameter defines the orientation of 3D model views, i.e.,
location of views (“Front view”, “Top view” etc.) in the world coordinate system.
Its orientation is used when creating projections, as well as in the commands of 3D
window view direction («Front View», «Left View», «Right View», «Axonometric
View», etc.). This option can be helpful when working with imported geometry,
parts created in context of assembly or other analogous cases, when model is
oriented discordantly to main directions.
