Locate |
Text label with line pointing to entity is displayed |
All |
Draw |
Clears the graphics window and draws the selected entity(s) |
All |
Draw Elements |
Brings up a secondary menu with options to Draw specific 3D mesh entity types (without geometry). |

Draw Normal |
Displays an arrow from the center of the selected surface in the direction of its normal. Also colors
surface indicating orientation. |
Geometry Entities |
Draw With Neighbors |
Clears the graphics window and displays the selected entity(s) along with entities sharing a common vertex |
Geometry Entities |
Draw With Nearby Volumes |
Draws the selected volume(s) along with volumes that are within a small distance |
Volumes |

When a single entity is selected, displays to the output window the geometric length, area or volume.
When two entities are selected, displays the closest distance between the entities. |
Geometry Entities |
List Information |
Show a menu with additional options for listing information about the selected entities.
List Basic Info: Lists connectivity and associated lower order entities.
Geometry: Basic info plus additional geometric information such as centroid, bounding box,
surface area etc.
List Mesh Info: Basic info plus additional information about the associated mesh. |
All |
