Follow these steps to adjust how the 3D color model is displayed - as voxels, mesh, points, etc.
- In the Data pane of the RockPlot3D window, right-click on the name of the solid color model to be modified, and choose Options.
- Draw Style: In the Color Model Options window, locate this drop-down box. By clicking the down-arrow you can see the options.
- Solid: Choose this if the model is to be displayed as a continuous surface, with colors corresponding to the node color values.
- Voxels: Select this option if each solid model voxel is to be displayed as a solid cube. This method is slower to render than Solid but can show more detail.
- Wireframe: The model will be represented by a wire frame, with lines drawn at the density of the solid model nodes. You can adjust the line thickness by increasing or decreasing the numeric setting displayed there. A setting of "1" will result in thin lines.
- Points: The model will be represented by points, plotted at the density of the solid model nodes. You can adjust the thickness by increasing or decreasing the numeric setting there. A setting of "1" creates small points.
- Hidden: Select this option if the display of the model is to be hidden. Use this setting if you wish to insert slices and the model’s display gets in the way.
- Click the Apply button at any time to view the effect of your style changes on the image. 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.
