Show/Hide Silhouette for Problem Parts - See the silhouette of problem parts. Toggle to view the silhouette of problem parts. Use the P shortcut key to view the silhouette of problem parts at any time you need.
Show/Hide Down Face - See overhangs and features that need support. Use the D shortcut key to toggle the visibility of down face on or off. Use the D + R shortcut keys to reset the threshold angle and number of grades for the visibility of down face.
To change the threshold angle and number of grades for down face display, use the options in the View Panel.
Angle - Threshold angle for down face display.
Number of grades - Number of grades or colors to display, ranging from yellow to red.
Quick Measure tools allow for fast measurements in various applications, supporting both parts and auxiliary structures like smart supports and struts.
Coordinate - Check the coordinates of a specific point by hovering your mouse cursor over it.
Down Face Angle - Check the down face angle of a selected face with reference to the Printer Platform by hovering your mouse cursor over it.
Distance - Measure the distance between two points by selecting them during various commands. For example, measure distances between anchor points or support beams in Smart Supports to determine printability. You can also measure distances on a part to determine if supports are needed when using the Smart Support command.
Thickness - Measure the thickness of a feature by selecting any point on its face. The opposite face will be automatically identified, and the thickness will be measured.
Gap Clearance - Measure the gap between two opposing faces. Select a point on one face, and the opposite face will be automatically detected for measuring the gap.
Texture, color and material view mode.
Part Color - Shows both the vertex color and texture mapped color.
