Plot3D presentation

_images/image_plot3d_prs.png

Plot3D is a presentation of scalar values of meshes lying on a cutting plane. The relief and coloring of the resulting presentation both correspond to the values applied to the cells of a mesh.

To create a Plot3D presentation,

  • Select a field item in the Object Browser, and

  • Choose Presentations > Plot3D menu or click img_pl3 button in the Presentations toolbar.

As a result, Plot3D presentation is published in the Object Browser under selected field and displayed in the 3D Viewer.

Plot3D presentation has the same base parameters as Scalar map presentation, but in addition it also has the following own specific parameters:

  • Plane normal: specifies a cutting plane normal and a direction along which to warp a presentation,

  • Plane position: allows selecting the position of the cutting plane within the bounding box of the mesh (ranging from 0 to 1).
