Graphics Window

The graphics window is used to present the contents of the current scene. The navigation tools, that are included in the toolbar to the right, can be used to manipulate the viewed models in the window.

When a BREP model is presented in the graphics window, the internal structure of the model is also shown. Faces are drawn as shaded surfaces and the bounding edges as yellow or blue lines. Edges that bounds exactly two faces are coloured yellow and the remaining edges are coloured blue. A blue edge inside a surface indicates that the bounded faces are unconnected. The most common reason for this is that the faces are unconnected in the file they are coming from or that the gaps between the faces are too big. Unconnected edges can be sewed together, either by just connecting then if the gaps are small or by slightly increasing the internal tolerance and then connecting them. Small black symbols are used to show the position of the vertices.
