Form View
Form View
The Form View occupies the right hand top pane of the 3D Debugger window.
Current Object Page
The Current Object Page displays properties for the
last selected object in either of 2D Views. To change a value in an edit box
type the number and switch focus out of the edit box. Most commonly the Tab key is
used to do that. The model should be updated right away in all
views. If this does not happen most probably the entered value
makes geometry invalid. In this case the edit box will either contain
the original value or a number in the valid range which is nearest to the entered
value.
Wherever there is a definite valid range for the parameter the range is
displayed next to the edit box.
3D Page
The "Render Type" buttons on the 3D Page of the Form allow switching between
Wire Frame and Surface
rendering modes. The Editor Mode buttons allow switching between Modify and View modes. Modify
mode is used to to change the current object or move the current object around with
the mouse. Modify mode is indicated by text "MODIFY MODE", displayed
at the right hand bottom corner of the 3D View.
When a point is selected in the Cross Edit view correspondent 3D line is
highlighted in 3D View with green color. "Selected line" check box on
3D page allows disabling of this feature. "Selected Point" control on
the same page enables display of intersection point of the currently selected 3D
line with the cross-section plane.
Command Page
There are ten commands in this release, which
change internal structure of the object. See Topological Commands for details. In addition to
that Command page
contains buttons for
switching Cross-section view mode.
The Current Object Page
The "Local frame origin" edit boxes allow modification of the position
of the current object. This position can also be modified by using "Translate by" edit
box. Entering a value in this edit box will translate the local frame (and hence
the whole object) along one of
its own axis. "Rotate By" edit box rotates the frame (and hence the whole
current object)
also around one of its own (not global) axis. Note that "Translate by"
and "Rotate by" edit boxes are acting like a command line. Entering a number with
Tab key, or otherwise switching focus, will carry out the modification and will reset the
edit box back to zero.
To see exact coordinates of vectors of the local axes open Frame
Properties dialog by using Menu > "Current Object" >
"Local frame" command.
Note that 3D View and other editors still can be used with Frame
Properties dialog open.
Undo button allows undoing of the last object move performed using this
page of with the mouse in Modify mode.
Redo button allows repeat commands which where undone with Undo
button.
Repeat button can be used to repeat the last movement.
Profile Page
The Current Profile combo box on the Profile Page allows selection of the current
parameter
in the Profile View. This
combo box is not available when there are no objects selected in the Cross-section View
or the selected object has no editable parameters ( like straight line for
example). The Mode radio buttons allow switching between
View and Modify modes for the Profile Editor.
