Define Hypermesh Graphics Area

Sanket Patil

Hello All,

I want to adjust the graphics area as per maximum and minimum nodes coordinates defined by user.

Basic intention of this requirement is to restrict the graphics area to capture the proportionate views i.e. front view, side view, top view and isometric view of HM model.

Please guide me to resolve the issue.

Regards,

Sanket Sunil Patil

You could isolate the part you want to focus on then do a fit then turn the other parts back on.

Here are the help pages for a couple view commands.  The second one also has links to a whole bunch of other view commands.

Let me know if that helps or you are looking for something else.

Hello @Ben Buchanan 

Thanks for the help.

Please check in above image, i want to set front view, side view and top views as per 2D drawings. Their Edges should be matching.

Isolating image is not working. So i wanted to define graphics area as per user requirement.

Can you suggest any way to do this?

Here is the documentation to get different views.  I suggested isolating the part so that it will fit to just that part instead of the whole model.

maybe I would suggest then a mixed approach.

Use Ben's suggestion to get 1 of the views (front, i.e) and from there, you could rotate a few times, keeping the zoom the same, by using '*view' command like below.

- front view

- capture

- rotate N times, and go to side view

- capture....
