Description

Navigation type

Choose beetween Orbit camera (classic or Catia-like navigation) or Fly camera.

Scene override material

Temporary visual override of all materials visible in the scene using predefined shaders/materials:


  • Checker: displays all objects with UVs (texture coordinates) applied with a checker texture. Objects with no UVs applied are displayed in a flat purplish color, You can as well check the different UV channel.
  • Clay: displays all objects of the scene with a the same white material (clay-like).
  • Specular: displays all objects of the scene with a the same reflective orange material.
  • Zebra: displays all objects of the scene with a the same zebra shader to visualize light reflexion breaks.
  • Color By Part: displays each object of the scene with a different randomized color material.
  • Vertex colors : Display each vertex with one color. If there aren't any vertexes, nothing is displayed?

Rendering mode

Backface (BF) culling rendering modes:


  • Back-face Color (default): displays misoriented faces with a flat pink color.
  • Back-face Culling: displays misoriented faces as transparent faces.
  • Double-sided (default): displays the 2 sides of all the faces for each object in the scene (requires more computing power to display as the number of triangles sent to the graphic card is doubled).

Isolate

Visualize and process a selection of parts separately from the whole scene.  shortcut [SPACE]

Show / no show

Use to switch the viewer display between visible occurrences (visibility or inherited visibility ON) and hidden occurrences (visibility or inherited visibility OFF).

 Fit to view

Fits camera-view to the selection (or to all objects in the scene if no selection).

Fullscreen

Use to switch to fullscreen viewer display. Click ESC key or the "Windowed" button to exit fullscreen mode.

 View cube

Drop-down list used to set the camera-view to predefined camera orthographic views, and to set the camera type (perspective or orthographic)

Transform gizmo

Toggle ON or OFF to activate the transform gizmo displayed in the viewer, and used to move a Part in the scene.

Use the parameter "Move Pivot Only" to move the selected Part pivot point only.

Snapshot

Take a screenshot of the viewer and save it as a .PNG locally.

Entering Virtual Reality
