Working with the Sharpness Mode

When the Shading with Edges without Smooth Edges view mode is selected, sharp edges are displayed as black lines. However, for performance reasons, some sharp edges are not displayed at all. The Sharpness mode allows to display all edges detected as sharp.

You can start the Sharpness mode command from the Select command.

You can also start the Sharpness mode command while another command is already running without having to interrupt it.

If an exclusive command is started while the Sharpness mode command is already running, it cancels the Sharpness mode, and the visualization returns back to standard one.

The Sharpness mode command is automatically cancelled (and the visualization switches back to standard one) when you

  • launch a Feature creation command,
  • edit a Feature,
  • perform a global update,
  • launch another visualization command (e. g. the WYSIWYG command),
  • perform a Me, Add, Share, Home, or Help action.
Notes:
  • When you select the Sharpness mode command, clicking another visualization command's icon (e. g. the WYSIWYG command's icon) cancels the Sharpness mode command without launching the other visualization command.
  • When you select a visualization command (e. g. the WYSIWYG command), clicking the Sharpness mode command's icon cancels the current visualization command without launching the Sharpness mode command.
