Short Cuts | |||
The "C",
"M", "F", and "N" buttons are shortcut
options for settings that apply to all of the Power Solids / Power
Translators / Power NURBS objects in the model.

Display | |||
Nearly all BrepObject commands
are compound objects (more than one input sub-object) like the Loft or
Boolean that comes with 3ds max. The commands in this dialog allow
you to modify the display, ordering and selection of the sub-objects and
also gives you the ability to remove and make copies or instances of
sub-objects.
Result: The default display
option. It will display the result of the Boolean or other Power
Solids operation. Operands or sub-objects are normally hidden. |
|||
Sub-Object List Window | |||
The Sub-Object List Window displays a list of all of the sub-objects in the selected BREP object. The sub-objects displayed depend on the Power Solids command that you are running. For the BrepBoolean command, it lists the operands that define the selected Boolean. For BrepExtrude (for instance), it will list the extrusion and the profile curve that defines the extrusion. Each time a Power Solids operation is performed, the Sub-Object List Window is updated to include the new sub-objects. The Sub-Object List Window is provided for convenient selection and editing of BREP objects and sub-objects. The "Show Selected Operands" option (see above) will display only the operands which are selected in this Sub-Object List Window. |
|||
Sub-Object Editing | |||
Extract Sel: Extract
the selected sub-object / operand. How the sub-object is extracted
depends on the Extract Option (Remove, Copy, or Instance). Re-Order: Changes the ordering of the selected (in the Sub-Object Display List) operand. The operand will be moved to the position listed in the text field next to the "Re-Order Ops" button. Set the order position, and then click on the Re-Order button. This is useful in editing Boolean operations which are order dependent. |

Mesh Settings | |||
2-Sided Mesh: 3ds Max doesn't display surfaces whose normal vectors point away from the screen. The 2-sided mesh option will allow surfaces to display even when facing in the wrong direction. | |||
