Used to set various display features for surfaces and patches. Features are:

Global CS

Displays the axes origin and orientation of the X, Y and Z axes of the Global Coordinate System.

Axes

Displays the cartesian axes when the view is in any of the orthogonal planes.

Working CS

Displays the working coordinate system origin and orientation of the U and V axes.

Boundaries

Displays the boundaries of surface patches and geometric entities.

Silhouettes

Displays silhouettes (perceived boundaries) of geometric entities. Silhouettes are not drawn for spline surfaces.

Facets

Displays the facets for all surfaces and geometric entities.

Mesh

Displays a parametric mesh for all surfaces and geometric entities. The density of the mesh is set in the Parameters panel in the No of Mesh Lines input field.

Principal Curvature

Displays "tufts" that indicate the directions and relative magnitudes of the two principal curvatures. The density of the tufts is controlled by the Curvature Sampling Grid parameter and the scale of the tufts by Curvature Magnification.

Curve Curvature

Displays "tufts" representing the inverse of the radius of curvature for any orthogonal curves drawn. The tuft density and scale is controlled as for principal curvature.

Curve Edge Points

Displays boxes showing the edge points and their order of all 2D and 3D curves.

Curve Direction

Displays arrows showing the direction of all 2D and 3D curves.
