The heads-up display can also be cycled from the VM Mode toolbar available with GENER and
CERUN.
4.3.10 Simulation»Measure
The Simulation»Measure settings only take effect while in measurement mode,
as set using the button on the VM Mode toolbar or Simulation»
Mode»Measurement menu bar. Once in measurement mode, clicking with the
left-mouse button causes measurements to be taken between the selected
objects. Press and hold the Ctrl key to manipulate the camera with the mouse
while taking measurements.
Within VM, objects are constructed of triangles. The Simulation»Measure
menu-bar functions and matching VM Measure toolbar provide toggles
that: change how measurements are taken; affect the objects that can be
picked for measurement; and affect the visibility of the measurement results.
The Fan selection switches between chained (one to the next) and fanned (one to many)
measurements.
The Vertex selection enables or disables the picking of points on the boundary of the
triangles that make up the in-process stock object.
The Edge selection enables or disables the picking of edges of the triangles that make up
the in-process stock object.
The Triangle selection enables or disables the picking of faces of the triangles that make
up the in-process stock object.
The Overlay selection, when enabled, ensures that the objects selected for measurement
will always be visible, no matter how the camera is oriented.
If none of the Vertex, Edge or Triangle selections is active, then by default all objects are enabled
for selection.
Measurement information appears as a HUD (head-up display) in the simulation window,
showing the distance and angle between selected entities, as well as the xyz offset using the
frame selected in the VM Grid tool-bar.
