Model display

[ZIMMER1]

I can't find anything about this so--


When in a shaded model and zoomed in enough, all the surfaces and rounds look good but when I zoom out enough to be able to see most of the part a hole or void shows up usually where different surface meet or on rounds.


This doesn't look good when you are making visual files for marketing and/or customers.


Any ideas?


128 mg ATI card and accuracy is usually set down to 10ths on an inch

I have the same problem. The only answer that I know of is to get a better graphics card. You can check Ptc's website for registered graphics cards.

yeah I was thinking the same thing only the card I have is (supposedly) on the cretified list by ptc.


I wonder if a card with more capacity would help? 256 or 512 maybe?

Try changing your model display quality...


#view #Display Settings #Model Display


Select #Shade Tab then change your #Quality to like 8.


and check #small surfaces in the shade area.


I don't think ProE has a config setting sorry. Hope this helps...

Sweet!


the small surface box fixed it.





Thanks!

Yeap, Marine1 has it figured out, but on a complex model that can make modeling and rotating quite time consuming. It is great that ProE lets us change to what is appropriate at the time!

about "small surfaces", can config option "skip_small_surfaces=no"

 

[appinmi]

In wildfire 1, there is no config option skip_small_surfaces

I have the following mapkey in my config.pro file which I run at the start of each session. Will increase shade quality to 10, show small surfaces and turn of the tolerance dispaly at the bottom of the screen.


!mapkey - INCREASE SHADE QUALITY TO 10
