You can request a simplified display of your objects. Complex objects will be clearer and the display speed faster.

q The different types of simplification
· By default
If you have not specified the simplification type of an object, Amapi 3D will assign it a default simplification type:
· NURBS surfaces will be displayed by their characteristic lines.
· Objects that can be re-edited with the Dynamic Geometry will be displayed by their outline, based on the control curves.
· The other objects will be displayed by their cut profiles: 1 on X, 1 on Y, 1 on Z.
· Never
No simplification at all.
· By 1 cut (intersecting plane)
1 cut on X, 1 on Y and 1 on Z.
· By 2 cuts (intersecting planes)
2 cuts on X, 2 on Y and 2 on Z.
· By 3 cuts (intersecting planes)
3 cuts on X, 3 on Y and 3 on Z.
· By decimation
· (See User Manual/ Tools/ Modeling/ Decimation/Tessellate / Decimation)
q Switch to the simplified display mode
In the ControlPanel, the “Display Simplification” icon allows you to shift between a “simplified” display and an “unsimplified” display.
· Simplified display mode
Amapi 3D displays all the objects using the simplification type assigned to them. If you have not specified a simplification type for the objects, Amapi 3D will assign the “default” simplification to them.
· Non-simplified display mode
· All the objects for which the display type has not been specified will be displayed in “unsimplified” display mode.
· All the objects for which the display type has been specified will remain displayed in “simplified” display mode.
q Specify the object ‘s simplification type
You can simplify the display of a selected object in a scene. This operation can be done through the “Information” tool in the Control Panel. See chapter User Manual/ Modeling help tools/ Control panel/ Information.
