There is only one tab: Start page.
Start page
In the Start page 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. |
