Step-by-Step Summary
Follow these steps to adjust the appearance of the isosurface's edges or "caps".
- In the Data pane of the RockPlot3D window, right-click on the name of the isosurface to be modified and choose Options.
- Iso-level: Locate this section of the Isosurface Options window. You will see several settings.
- Cap Style: Find this drop-down list. By clicking the down-arrow you can see the options.
- Contoured: Choose this option to see G values along the model’s edges displayed with color contours, based on the color scheme you’ve selected.
For example, if the color scheme is set to Cold to Hot and the Cap Style to Contoured, the model’s border or cutout edges will show cold-to-hot contours, as in the upper example shown here.
- Solid: The model edges will be displayed in the same color as the rest of the isosurface, as in the lower example.
- None: This option will remove altogether the cap surfaces from the model boundaries. The can sometimes speed up the rendering of the solid.
- Click the Apply button at any time to view the effect of your changes on the isosurface. You may need to drag the Options window out of the way to view the display. You do not need to close the Options window to apply and see the changes.
! Using the Apply button tells the program to invoke the changes you have made. You cannot discard changes once they have been applied.
