Mesh Visibility Settings

View the visibility settings for segments, triangles, apertures, windscreens, tetrahedra, voxels, cuboids and uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) polygons and cylinders.

The mesh visibility settings are found on the 3D View contextual tabs set, on the Mesh tab in the Visibility group.

Note: Only the visibility settings relevant to the model will be available. For example, if the model does not contain any voxels the Voxels icon is disabled.

Table 1. Display options for segments, triangles, apertures, windscreens, tetrahedra, voxels, cuboids and uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) polygons and cylinders.
Icon	Icon text	Description
	Segments	Show / hide the surfaces, lines and vertices of mesh segments.
	Metal	Show / hide the faces, edges and vertices of metal triangles.
	Dielectric	Show / hide the faces, edges and vertices of dielectric triangles.
	Aperture	Show / hide the faces, edges and vertices of aperture triangles.
	Windscreen	Show / hide the faces, edges and vertices of windscreen triangles.
	Tetrahedra	Show / hide the faces, edges, vertices and volumes of tetrahedra.
	Voxels	Show / hide the faces, edges, wire lines, wire surfaces, volumes and grid of voxels.
	Cuboids	Show / hide the faces, edges and vertices of cuboids.¹
	UTD polygons	Show / hide the faces, edges and vertices of UTD polygons.
	UTD cylinders	Show / hide faces and edges of UTD cylinders.

Note: For all of these visibility settings, a drop-down list is available to individually set the visibility for the faces, edges and vertices of the elements. For volumetric elements, an additional volume option is provided.

Visibility Filter

The visibility filter provides additional control over the visibility of mesh elements. With this filter, mesh regions with specific labels or specific media can be filtered out.

On the 3D View contextual tabs set, on the Mesh tab, in the Visibility group, click the Visibility filter icon.

¹ Cuboidal mesh elements can only be created in EDITFEKO.
