This menu item contains all display types that are possible for structures. If a sub-item does not exist in the model, this sub-item is deactivated, i.e. it is greyed out.

 

 

Pick/List ,

Pick can be used to select currently visible structures in the graphics window. Selection of specific structures is also possible via the List... menu item. A list of all existing structures is displayed with:

 

• Name (= structure name)

• Structure type (point p, line l, area f, transient gp, gl, gf)

• Attribute identification

 

The selected structures (marked) are then displayed in the main window, unspecified structures are not displayed.

 

Structures can be selected in multiple ways:

• Select an entire block of structures by either:

Dragging the cursor while holding down the left mouse button, or

Clicking on the first desired structure, then holding down “SHIFT” and clicking on the last desired structure in the block.

• Select or deselect additional structures by holding down the “CTRL” button and clicking on the desired structures.

• Select multiple blocks of structures by using “CTRL” + “SHIFT” and clicking on the desired structures.

 

The list can be sorted by clicking on the column headings. The column width can be changed by dragging the column separator line.

 

Structures, point structures, line structures, area structures

These menu items can be used to show or hide the respective structures depending on the selected menu item. If Structures is selected, all structures are displayed or hidden. Alternatively, only point, only line or only area structures can be displayed or hidden.

By selecting Enlarge/Shrink directional arrows, these are scaled in the display.
