This operation allows browsing the contents of the selected shape.

To Inspect Object, in the Main Menu select Measures - > Inspect Object.

The dialog can be used in two modes. The first one is a tree view mode:

Dialog in the tree view mode

This is a default mode that allows to inspect an object in the form of tree starting from the shape itself. Its children are its direct sub-shapes that have they own children as sub-shapes etc. till most very base sub-shapes, i.e. vertices.

The second mode is a filtering one. It is activated when the user selects Tolerance filter check box:

Dialog in the filtering mode

In this mode the user can check the type of sub-shapes to work with using the radio-buttons. The type can be either Vertex, Edge or Face. Then the user choses a tolerance criterion to be applied to filter out sub-shapes. It is possible to chose one of the following values:

> - greater than (default value)
>= - greater than or equal to
< - lower than
<= - lower than or equal to

The last parameter to be chosen is the tolerance value. The result is the shapes of a certain type that satisfy the defined tolerance criterion. E.g. if the user chooses Face, criterion > and tolerance value equal to 1.e-6 the faces with the tolerance greater than 1.e-6 are displayed.

It is possible to set maximal and minimal value of the tolerance using the buttons Max value and Min value. These values are displayed in the labels Max : and Min :

In this dialog never mind of its mode it is possible to:

Click on the "selection" button and select an object to inspect in the Object Browser or in the viewer.
Show/hide sub-shape(s) in the 3D viewer, by pressing "eye" icon in the first column of the tree view.
Show/hide all sub-shapes in the tree, by pressing "eye" icon in the first column of the tree view header or by pressing Show all/Hide all buttons.
Rename the selected sub-shape by double-clicking on the item or pressing <F2> key.
Show the selected sub-shape(s) in the 3D viewer by pressing Show Selected button.
Show the selected sub-shape(s) in the 3D viewer and erase all currently shown objects by pressing Show Only Selected button.
Hide the selected sub-shape(s) from the 3D viewer by pressing Hide Selected button.
Publish the selected sub-shapes in the study, by pressing Publish Selected button.
Close dialog box, by pressing Close button.

TUI Command:

A command to filter sub-shapes is defined:

geompy.GetSubShapesWithTolerance(theShape, theShapeType, theCondition, theTolerance),
where
theShape is the shape to be exploded.
theShapeType is the type of sub-shapes to be returned. Can have the values GEOM.FACE, GEOM.EDGE and GEOM.VERTEX only.
theCondition is the condition type (the value of GEOM.comparison_condition emuneration).
theTolerance is the tolerance filter.
