Worksurface Parameters

System-wide parameters

Layer. Sets the name of the layer that the plane belongs to.

Color. Sets the color of the work plane. Use this color to draw a rectangle that marks the visual boundaries of the work plane.

Level. Sets the visibility level value.

Parameters common to 3D elements

Name. For special work surfaces, depending on their type, the following names are created by default: Sphere_0, Cylinder_1, Tor_0, and so on..

Special parameter

Radius. Value of a fixed parameter. This value can be taken as the radius of the selected circle, or set to a specific value. If a circle is selected, the value of the radius of this circle is displayed in the field and it is not editable.

Units. It can take two values: Angular and Linear.

Type. Sets the type of coordinate system:

•Spherical.

•Cylindrical.

•Toroidal.

Radius of the torus (used for a toroidal system). Sets the value of the second fixed parameter (small radius). This value can be taken as the radius of the selected circle, or set to a specific value. If a circle is selected, the value of the radius of this circle is displayed in the field and it is not editable.

Show in 3D Window. If the checkbox is enabled, the visibility of the worksurface in 3D windows can be managed using special commands. If the checkbox is disabled, the worksurface is not displayed, and not affected by elements visibility control commands.

Default. This set of parameters will be set for subsequent surfaces to be created.
