About the Slider

This topic provides the information you need when creating features that require the use of a slider.

When performing certain operations, a slider is displayed at the right of the screen. An interactive zone is defined around this slider.

Here is an example with the slider displayed in the Face Cutting command.

  • When you are within this zone, the pointer position allows to preview the value which is highlighted. Move and click the pointer in the interactive zone, so that the cursor moves to the highlighted value on the slider.
  • The slider can be customized using the anchor point circle at the lower end of the slider. Drag this point across the screen. The preview of the location where the slider can be dropped is displayed. The slider automatically changes its shape according to its position, either horizontal, vertical or in a corner.



  • The slider can be scaled using the resizing handle on top.

  • Click to open a dialog box that lets you modify certain parameters.

    When the dialog box is open, the Tools Palette disappears.

    Tips:
    • The box is automatically updated whenever you move the slider and vice-versa.
    • You can manually modify the value and define a value smaller or greater than the value displayed in the slider.
