REPRESENTATION TUBE CL (CENTRELINE )
Description:
The REPRESENTATION command allows tubing to be represented in a centreline or as a solid tube. In some cases, it helps to switch between the two representations to simplify an otherwise complicated view.
TUBE and CENTRELINE representation are not instantly updated on the screen. To see the effects of a representation change, use the REPResentation UPDATE command to make any changes visible.

Examples: |
|
|---|---|
|
REPR TUBE ON CL OFF |
Sets tubing representation as solid tube. |
|
REPR CL ON TUBE OFF |
Sets tubing representation as centreline. |
|
REPR TUBE ON CL ON |
Sets both types of representation on (but centreline will not be visible in colour-shaded mode, as it will be hidden by solid tube). |
