To Set Lattice Display Options
You can set the defaults for the following lattice displays:
• Quality of the shaded display of simplified lattice representations
To improve the quality of the shaded display of simplified lattice representations, perform one of these actions:
◦ Set the display_lattices_in_hq configuration option to yes.
◦ Click
File >
Options >
Entity Display. Under
Simplified lattice display settings, select the
Display lattices in higher quality shading check box.
• Display style for beams of simplified lattices
To display the beams of simplified lattices in shaded display style, perform one of these actions:
◦ Set the display_thick_lattices configuration option to yes.
◦ Click
File >
Options >
Entity Display. Under
Simplified lattice display settings, select the
Display thick lattices check box.
It is recommended to disable the thicken lattice option before saving a model if the number of lattice beams is large, because it will take up a lot of disk space to save the shading information. The shading information will be recreated upon retrieval if the environment is set to display thickened lattices.
• Display point sets on lattice open boundaries
To display point sets on lattice open boundaries in Simulation mode only, perform one of these actions:
◦ Set the lattice_points_in_simulate_only configuration option to yes.
◦ Click
File >
Options >
Entity Display. Under
Simplified lattice display settings, select the
Display open boundary point sets in Simulation mode only check box.
