Display Options is available in the toolbar, the View
menu or the right-click menu, and allows you to change display options
on the Wedge View, Stereonet, Info Viewer and Chart Views.
Colors
The user may change the colours used for the Slope, Wedge, Background, Bolts, Shotcrete, and Forces. Note:
The "Selection" colour refers to the colour of selected bolts while using the Delete Bolt and Edit Bolt options.
Forces
Arrows representing Water, Seismic and External Forces are displayed by default, but can be turned off if desired. Note:
If multiple External Forces are used, the External option will display arrows representing the direction of each individual External Force. The External Resultant option will display only a single arrow, representing the direction of the resultant External Force.
Note that ALL Force arrows represent only the DIRECTION of a given force. Arrow sizes are NOT scaled for magnitude, they only represent the presence and direction of a given force.
Shotcrete is represented by a gray shading of the Slope Face, rather than an arrow.
Labels
The North Symbol option can be used to display a North pointing arrow in the Top orthogonal view.
The Joint Labels option can be used to display the labels "J1" and "J2" on the model, so that Joint Set 1 and Joint Set 2 can be correctly identified.
Drawing Mode
In most cases the user will want to use the default Shaded Drawing Mode, however, Wireframe mode is also available.
Stereonet
The Stereonet display options control the information which is displayed on the stereonet in the Stereonet View.
Planes - this checkbox will display the planes (great circles) corresponding to the current orientations of Joint1, Joint2, slope, upper face and tension crack. Note: for a Probabilistic analysis, only the mean plane orientations are displayed.
All Poles - this checkbox will display the poles corresponding to the current orientations of Joint1, Joint2, slope, upper face and tension crack. For a Probabilistic analysis, this option will display all statistically generated pole orientations. For a Combinations analysis this option will display all joint poles used in the analysis.
Intersections - this checkbox will display the orientation of all intersections of Joint 1 and Joint 2, representing kinematically admissible wedges. This is applicable for Probabilistic or Combination analysis. Note: the intersection of two joint planes on a stereonet is given by the intersection of the corresponding great circles, and represents a line in 3-dimensional space.
Failed - this checkbox will highlight all intersections and corresponding joint poles, which represent a wedge for which a safety factor less than 1 was calculated. This is applicable for Probabilistic or Combinations analysis. The All Poles or Intersections options must also be selected in order for this option to apply. Failed orientations are highlighted in red.
In the Stereonet View, the Stereonet display options are available directly in the right-click menu.
NOTE:
The latest changes made in the Display Options dialog automatically become the new program defaults. To restore the original program defaults, select the Defaults button.
The Cancel button in the Display Options dialog does NOT cancel any changes once they have been applied with the Apply button.
