HFSS15: Modeler Options: Display Tab

These options are set on the Display tab of the Modeler Options dialog box.

1. To specify a default color for a 3D Modeler drawing object or action (such as on select):

• Select the object or action from the Default color pull-down list and click the color button.
The Color window appears.

• Select a color for the selected object or action, and click OK.

2. To specify the default for the View>Render setting for new projects, select WireFrame or SmoothShade from the Default view render pull-down list.

When dealing with complicated geometries, choose WireFrame rendering. This is faster than shaded rendering.

3. To set the Default transparency, move the slider, or enter a numerical value.

4. Select or clear the Show orientation of selected objects check box.

5. Select or clear the Highlight selection dynamically check box.

6. Select or clear Highlight UV Isolines.

For models with curved faces, you may prefer to clear this selection to simplify the wire-frame display, so the rendering will be faster.

7. Under Default tree layout, select or clear the Group objects by material check box.

8. Under History operations visualization, select or clear the Visualize history of objects check box.

The option lets you view an outline of each part that comprises an object when the given part is selected in the model history tree. This can help you visualize an object that has been merged with another object. A change to the option takes effect only when you restart HFSS.

Clearing this selection removes visualization of objects that are part of the model history. For large models, this is faster and uses less memory.

The following figure shows an example history tree with an object selected and the outline view of that object in the Main window.
