Model Viewer Application
The Model Viewer allows three-dimensional viewing of DG Kernel Models stored in supported formats.
To rotate the model use left mouse button.
To pan - hold shift key and use left mouse button. To zoom - use
right mouse button. Making circles with mouse while holding left mouse button
causes the model to rotate around axis orthogonal to the screen.
Note that manipulations of the view do not change anything in
the geometry of the model. Only point of view is changing. These actions are
similar to movements of a TV camera around the scene, closing up or moving away
from objects.
View menu allows change between Solid and Wire Frame viewing modes.
Options Dialog
By default, 3D view displays global axes with red, green and blue colors for
x, y and z axis correspondently. To hide the global axes clear "Show global
frame" check box in Options dialogue.
Each object also displays its local frame. To
hide those clear "Show local frames" check box in the dialogue.
Global axes are drawn with conical pointers. Local axes are drawn with
flat triangle corners as pointers.
"Simplex per dim" parameter allows increasing "Geometric
Resolution" of the model. Geometrical resolution determines how fine is
approximation of the surface. Increasing this number leads to a better surface
rendering, but also increases computational load on the computer.
Note: As the Viewer is a read-only application these three options are not
saved with the model.
