How to use the 3d Viewer

Rotate geometry by moving mouse inside viewer window and drag while left mouse button is pressed. The rotation mechanism simulates a virtual track ball, i.e. one picks a virtual ball centered in the display and drags the picked point around the center of the display.

Press right mouse button to select major interaction mode from popup menu, or use keyboard keys to temporarily switch between different modes (just keep a button pressed to switch mode temporarily). Some essential modes are:

o Rotate surface (initial mode)
s Scale surface, drag in vertical direction
t Translate surface
r Reset display to initial state
Right-Mouse
or Ctrl-s
Open separate window with control panels.

To modify appearance of the geometry press Ctrl-s to open the control panel and select the material panel (if not visible) via menu Inspector - Object - Material.

More information about the viewer is available on the page viewer navigation.
