ICEM Design Experience Options Panel

The ICEM Design Experience Options options let you customize the navigation, controls, and analysis display behavior of ICEM Design Experience.

This page discusses:

Click in the VNav Options toolbar to open the ICEM Design Experience Options panel.

Navigation

Navigation Mode
  • CATIA navigation mode uses mouse buttons starting with middle-click. For more information, see 3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps: Native Apps Basics: Basic Viewing Commands.
  • ICEM Surf navigation mode uses mouse buttons in combination with Shift and Alt keys. For more information, see View Manipulation.
    Note: CATIA navigation shortcuts, for example Ctrl + Page up/down, are not available with ICEM Surf navigation mode.
Sliding Mode
Defines the sliding behavior of the V-Nav and the View Mode mouse menu (Alt + Shift + click).
None
No sliding mode is active. The view rotates by 90deg.
Mode 1
Rotates to the next standard view. The top view is -xy-plane.

Mode 2
Rotates to the next standard view. The top view is xy-plane.

Animation Time
Activates a smooth transition from one view to another. You can also clear or select the animation using the Animation during viewport modification option in Me > Preferences > Common Preferences > 2D 3D View Display > Navigation tab, Navigation section.
In the Animation Time box, you can specify the transition duration in seconds.
Highlight Color
Specifies the color for selected sets of input elements.
Highlight Color 1 sets the color for the first set of input elements, for example, target elements with OmniMatch command. Highlight Color 2 sets the color for the second set of input elements, for example, source elements.
Customize Crown Menu
Opens the Crown Menu Customization panel. For more information, see Customizing Crown Menus.

Display

Control Point Size
Sets the control point size.
Controls Default
Customizes the color and line style of control elements that are not selected.
Controls Active
Customizes the color and line style of control elements that are part of a geometry that is accessible for modifications or has some control elements that are already selected for modifications.
Note: In commands with the Display section in the command panel, control elements are always displayed in active mode if the Display options are selected.
Controls Preselected
Customizes the color and line style of preselected control elements.
Controls Selected
Customizes the color and line style of selected control elements.
Show Rotation Center
Displays the rotation center during view manipulation.
Color Variant
Sets the colors for the Robot, the V-Nav tool, and OmniPlanes. You can use Default or High Contrast colors.
Default Material Settings
Opens the Default Materials Light Settings panel.
You can define the Light Direction:
  • X, Y, Z: defines the light direction by coordinates.
  • Update from View : sets the light direction to the current view direction.
  • Attach/Detach from View : switches the attachment to the view direction on and off.

Analysis

Dotted Hidden Lines
Displays the analyses lines that are hidden in the view direction. Displays them in dotting style on the shaded geometry.
Label Color
Sets the background color of analysis value labels.
The font color automatically adapts to the background color brightness.
Hide Label Frame
Displays the analysis values without frame.
Automatic Sections Redistribution
Redistributes the section planes on the geometry to perform a global section analysis.
  • If selected, the distribution of section planes is updated automatically whenever the geometry is created or modified.
  • If cleared, you can trigger the redistribution manually by clicking Calculate in the Sections panel.
Note: Using this option impacts the performance when modeling in larger data sets with global sections enabled.
