50.8 Customizing mesh display

You can use the ViewPart Display Options and the ViewAssembly Display Options menu items to specify whether or not node and element labels are displayed on an orphan mesh part or a meshed assembly. Using the ViewAssembly Display Options menu item you can also choose to display or suppress your native mesh and, if displayed, to do so only in the Mesh module or in all assembly-related modules.

To customize mesh display:

  1. Locate the mesh display options.

    From the main menu bar, select ViewPart Display Options or ViewAssembly Display Options. In the dialog box that appears, click the Mesh tab.

  2. Toggle Show native mesh to display or suppress the native mesh. When Show native mesh is on, you can do one of the following:

    • Choose In the Mesh module only to display your native mesh only in the Mesh module.

    • Choose In all assembly-related modules to display your native mesh in all modules that support the display of the assembly.

  3. Toggle Show node labels and Show element labels to affect the display of these items.

  4. Click OK to implement your changes and to close the dialog box.

    Your changes are saved for the duration of the session.
