Applicative types to load during Expand command

Fastener

Check Fastener to display Fasteners in the Spec Tree and in the 3D geometry area. The cross-highlight is supported to easily identify the components.

By default, this option is deactivated.

Important: Only migrated fasteners will be taken into account by the option Expand fastener. Fastener advanced features will only be available after all fastener data has been migrated to Unified Typing.
Note: Depending on the number of Fasteners to display, there could be performance degradation during the Expand operation. Also, depending on the number of Fasteners to display, there could be a large number of new nodes in the Spec tree.

Filtered Expand display mode

Enables you to choose whether to navigate on simplified geometry or on indexed simplified geometry when a Filter is applied. With this option set to indexed simplified geometry, results will be faster when you apply a filter (attribute filter, volume filter, selection filter, etc.) with the Expand Entire Branch option.

Simplified geometry

Select Simplified geometry to visualize a simplified representation of the geometry in the 3D area when expanding a filtered structure.

By default, this option is activated.

Indexed simplified geometry

Select Indexed simplified geometry to visualize an indexed simplified representation of the geometry in the 3D area when expanding a filtered structure. Since the index may not be up to date, the displayed geometry might not represent the exact structure as it is saved in the database but it is faster to load.

By default, this option is deactivated.
