[Equest-users] eQuest 3.65 build 7173 - Wire frame mode

Tue Nov 1 10:43:13 PDT 2016

I knew about the rotate going wire fame. Not what I’m after. In 3D mode, if you hit “W” is gives a wireframe view (see attached). “S” goes ‘solid’. Image is from 3.64, but I thought 3.65 7163 still had this, but could be wrong. 3.65 7173 apparently doesn’t?

No worries on the tag-on question Nick. All part of it.

Holding ctrl and left-click/dragging (i.e. the way you’d “orbit” the view) is how I’m used to peeking at the wireframe.  Doesn’t seem like this has changed between 7163 and 7173.

If there’s a way to make it always wireframe (when not manipulating the 3D view angle), I’m not sure I remember experiencing that.  Would be interesting to learn!

I have a related query however (sorry for layering onto your thread, Daric!):

·         By default, every project has “Base Wire Frame” setting for the 3DManipulationMethod setting.  I sometimes remember that it’s advantageous for QC review of geometries to instead choose the 2nd option (this renders windows & doors, helping to reveal instances of incorrectly “sandwiched” surfaces in more complicated multi-shell situations.

·         Observation:  If you select something other than the default, that setting lives in the *.pd2 file:

·         The question:  Is there a way to make “Full Wire Frame (all components)” the *default* 3D manipulation rendering setting?

o   It would seem to be the case as a selectable option within the eQ_Dev.ini file (located in the eQUEST data directory):

[cid:image004.png at 01D2343D.87677740]

o   The eQUEST.INI file includes a setting for 3DRenderMethod, but switching that value to 1 (“multiple cells”) has apparent no effect on new projects:

o   I also tried pasting in the 3DMainipulationMethod from eQ_Dev.ini (and removing the semicolon), to no apparent effect:

Previously a wire frame version of the model could be see/switching to. Wire Frame vs solid walls. Did this get removed or what’s the trick/hot-key to getting this?
