RockPlot3D | Edit | Add X Isosurface
Use this tool to insert a "child" isosurface inside an existing isosurface view in the RockPlot3D view. Multiple x-isosurfaces may be added to display distribution of different values within a single solid model.
- In the Data pane of the RockPlot3D window, select the isosurface into which the child isosurface is to be inserted, by left-clicking on its name.
- Select the Edit | Add X-Isosurface menu option.
The program will insert an isosurface within the existing one, and you'll see an X-Isosurface item displayed in the Data pane.
- If necessary, double-click on the parent isosurface's name in the Data pane to access its Options window, where you can adjust its iso-level, transparency, or other settings.
- Then, you can double-click on the x-isosurface's name in the Data pane to access its Options window, where you can adjust the iso-level, color, transparency settings, etc. All of the same isosurface options are available for the child isosurface. (See Changing Isosurface Settings for more details.)
- At any time you can click the Apply button at the bottom of the X-Isosurface's Options window to apply the settings to the isosurface.
- When the settings are to your satisfaction, click Close to close the Isosurface Options window.
- You can repeat this process to add additional child isosurfaces.
! Tip: You can enable/disable the x-isosurface by inserting/removing its check-mark in the data tree.
