The Production Model Inspector enables you to inspect and compare data extracted from a design model at different stages of the part-generation process.
Use this window to validate geometry, review production markings, and verify naming and labeling before fabrication.
Compare production stages
Use stage comparison to identify differences between two stages of the part-generation process.
The part-generation process consists of multiple stages that adapt geometry and calculate production-related information. The stages that are available depend on the geometry and the processing required for a specific model.
The following examples show typical stages in the part-generation process:
|
Initial |
Represents the raw data extracted directly from the design model before marking, naming, labeling, or excess material is applied. |
|
Preprocessing |
Represents the production model prepared for manufacturing by normalizing and validating geometry. |
|
Marking |
Represents production markings applied to parts and plates. |
Work with the detail view
The Detail view provides an option to show or isolate selected elements.
|
Isolated view |
Displays only the selected element from the Tree view in the viewport, using first angle projection. |
Control option visibility
Use to show or hide the following options in the 3D view:
|
GSDs |
Displays geometrical specification data, such as triangles and lines, that define reference geometry. |
|
Markings |
Displays markings, such as material direction, molded lines, and production markings. |
|
Labels |
Displays component labels that identify plates, stiffeners, and other structural elements. |
|
Connections |
Displays connections between parts. |
|
Con. Segments |
Displays individual connection segments that make up a connection. |
|
Shrinkage Contours |
Displays contour zones that indicate expected shrinkage areas caused by fabrication processes. |
|
Shrinkage Lines |
Displays guide lines that indicate the direction or influence of shrinkage. |
|
World Coordinate Axis |
Displays the XYZ coordinate axis to indicate model orientation. |
Tree view
Displays the hierarchical structure of all elements.
Viewport
Displays the part design and visual comparison results.
