General
In the General tab you can specify the following:
Name | Description |
---|---|
Automatically check model after boolean operation | If checked, after a boolean operation it will be checked if the Boundary representation (BRep) of the model is valid. This is internally done by the function CheckGeometry. |
Automatically refine model after boolean operation | If checked, the model will be refined using the function RefineShape after a boolean operation. |
Automatically refine model after sketch-based operation | If checked, the model will be refined using the function RefineShape after a sketch of an object has been changed. |
Add name of base object | This option has currently no effect. |
Shape view
In the Shape view tab you can specify the following:
Name | Description |
---|---|
Maximum deviation depending on the model bounding box | Maximum linear deflection of the tesselated objects from their surface |
Maximum angular deflection | Maximum angular deflection from one tesselated object section to the next section |
