Mesh Planes
The Mesh Plane option allows you to view sections of your mesh to evaluate the mesh quality. Ensure that you have already generated a mesh. After you have done this:
- Select the Mesh
workflow tab.
- Select one of Mesh Plane XY
, YZ
or ZX
options from the toolbar or in the Mesh Plane sub-menu of the Mesh menu.
- Use the Freehand Manipulation
options on the plane to graphically translate or rotate your plane. Hover over any arrow in the icon. Once it is highlighted, you can drag your mouse in the arrow direction to apply a translation on the entities. You can also apply a translation by selecting the ball in the icon and dragging your mouse. You can also hover over any curved line to apply a rotation about the respective axis.
- Right-click and select the Update option to regenerate the viewed section of the mesh.
- To exit the mesh plane view, select Done
from the toolbar or from the Mesh Plane sub-menu of the Mesh menu. You can also select Done by right-clicking anywhere in the Viewport.
