Geometry preferences

In the Geometry module you can set preferences for visualisation of geometrical figures which can be used in later sessions with this module. There is also a special group of preferences controlling input precision for floating-point data.

For all color definitions click on the respective line to access to the Select Color dialog box.

• General
  • Default Display Mode - allows to choose between wireframe or shading.
  • Default Shading Color - allows to select default shading color.
  • Default Wireframe Color - allows to select default wireframe color (to be applied to any lines not being free boundaries or isolated lines).
  • Color of free boundaries - allows to select default color for free boundaries.
  • Color of edges, vectors and wires - allows to select default color for edges, vectors and wires (isolated lines).
  • Color of points - allows to select default color for vertices.
  • Color of isolines - allows to select default color for isolines.
  • Step Value for Spin Boxes - allows to define the increment of values set in spin boxes.
  • Deflection coefficient - allows to define default deflection coefficient for lines and surfaces. A smaller coefficient provides better quality of a shape in the viewer.

• Input fields precision
  • Length precision - allows to ajust input precision of coordinates and dimensions.
  • Angular precision - allows to ajust input precision of angles.
  • Length tolerance precision - allows to ajust input precision of tolerance of coordinates and dimensions.
  • Angular tolerance precision - allows to ajust input precision of tolerance of angles.
  • Weight precision - allows to ajust input precision of weight and mass.
  • Density precision - allows to ajust input precision of density.
  • Parametric precision - allows to ajust input precision of parametric values.
  • Parametric tolerance precision - allows to ajust input precision of tolerance in parametric space.

• Marker of Points
  • Type - allows to select the symbol for representation of points (cross, asterisk, etc.).
  • Size - allows to define the size of the marker from 1 (smallest) to 7 (largest).

• Origin and base vectors
  • Length of base vectors - allows to define the length of base vectors.
  • Auto create - allows to automatically create a point of origin and three base vectors of the rectangular coordinate system immediately after the module activation.
