Description |
|---|---|
|
item_xxx |
Represents the inner part of the inspectable item. |
|
inspect_item_xxx |

|
inspectfix_item_xxx |
The fix part of the container. |
|

Benefits
-
Container structure can be easily and safely added to a previously designed item (like coibentation around a valve) without having to modify the item. This often speeds up the work.
-
When opening and closing performs a mesh switch between inspect_item_xxx and the couple inspectfix_item_xxx, inspectmov_item_xxx. The lightmaps and aspect of the closed container object improves.
-
When closed, the item silhouette does not show discontinuity around the movable part of the container.
Disadvantages
-
Closed item aspect may suffer at the junction among container and contained.
-
Silhouette shows separately container and contained, especially when the item is opened.
