You can perform a visual and transient analysis that
allows a better understanding of the geometrical model.
The visualization of the topological links (gaps and overlaps) between
faces of a shell and edges of a wire enables you to work with the WYSIWYG mode.
WYSIWYG
mode
Before you begin: Create a 3D shape containing the following data: the green wire is the projection of
the yellow wire onto the blue joined surface (that contains a gap). The pink wire corresponds
to the intersection wire lying on the blue surface.
From the Review section of the action bar, click WYSIWYG mode.
The standard visualization switches to the WYSIWYG visualization.
The gaps are now visible and a junction edge has been created. It is created when a
wire lying on a surface crosses a gap of the surface. It is
represented by a dotted line and its extremities are materialized by two concentric
circles (providing you selected a current view mode that displays edges).
In the case of a creation operation of a wire on a surface, a
junction edge is created if and only if its length is bigger than the size of the
gap:
The junction edge is created The junction edge is not created
Click WYSIWYG mode again
to come back to the standard visualization mode.
All surfaces and wires are continuous and there is no visible gap.
Important:
The WYSIWYG command is shared, which means that it can be selected while another
command is already running without interrupting it.
The WYSIWYG mode applies to all the documents opened in the session, not only to the
current representation.
While in the command, Hide/Show and Swap
Visible Space commands are available.
