Tab

key

Press the Tab key to activate the navigation mode. The mouse pointer will change to a small arrow inside a circle. Press it again to exit this mode.

In the navigation mode some options are available to examine the 3D scene:

ZOOM IN/OUT: Knowing that in FPIPE module the observer is always outside of the 3D scene, it is possible to vary the zoom factor. To do so there are

several possibilities:

Opening a window with the right button of the mouse, dragging between the two opposite corners. The area contained in that window ismagnified to fit the graphic area as well as possible.

Combining the Shift key plus the vertical dragging of the mouse while left button is pressed or using the mouse roll, so the systemzooms in (moving down) or zooms out (moving up). Here it is indifferent the speed of the mouse, being enough to detect motion, since the

factor varies at a constant speed.

Clicking the F2 function key, so the scene is fitted completely inside any graphic area.

SCENE ROTATION:

Dragging with the left button of the mouse horizontally on the screen, the scene rotates around its vertical axis (normally Z, except when itischanged in the General command).

Dragging with the left button of the mouse vertically on the screen, the scene rotates its vertical axis in the vertical plane where the observer is.

The centre of rotation is, as a default, the scene centre. It could be changed:

Calling theView / Centre command.

Combining the Control key plus the mouse dragging while left button is pressed, this is the function panning.

Pointing to an object with the mouse and right clicking while the left button is pressed, will set this point as the centre of the scene.

Clicking the F2 function key, so the scene is fitted completely inside the graphic area and the rotation centre becomes again the default scenecentre.

Edition / Select

command

To be able to modify, transform, request information of, one already existing object it is necessary to select it.

To select objects the Select command in the Edition menu can be used.

The available option are:

Select last to select the last created object.

Select all to select all the object in the scene.

Objects could be selected also in a graphical way:

Combining the Shift key plus the left button of the mouse, it is selected the object situated justbelow the cursor position, when the selection point corresponds to the type indicated by the cursoraspect (vertex, connection, face centre, ...)

Combining the Shift key plus a window opened dragging with the left button of the mouse,they are selected all the objects cut by the window, no matter if they are visible or behind anyothers.

Clicking with the right button of the mouse on any object matching the current selector type, itis opened the object popup menu (which depends on the type of the object pointed), where atypical option is to select either the single object or the complete scene.

To unselect an element just follow the same steps an choose the unselect or unselect alloptions.

Tools / Clash detection

command

This command allows to check scene element clashes, to avoid or solve them. There are three commands in the Clash detection menu.

There are to ways to proceed:

If it is desired to check clashes between already created elements the way to proceed shall be:

Select all the elements to check clashes with (usually all already created objects in the scene whose position is correct and it is

not going to be modified).

Run the Group command in the Clash detection menu.

Deselect all these elements and select those of elements in the scene for which the user wants to check their clashes against the previouslydefined group.

Execute the Detect command in the Clash detection menu. This will display the Clash checkwindow. From this window clash detectionoptions can be configured. A Calculation margin (free distance for a wrapping surface covering everymodelled object could also be defined.

Click Run button to execute the clash check. This will automatically display the Clash list window wherethe clashes found will be shown with all their related information.

If it is desired to check clashes online while generating new objects the way to proceed shall be:

Select all already created elements and run the Group command in the Clash detection menu.

Execute the Detect command in the same menu and tick the On-line clash check option of the Clashcheckwindow. Click the Ok button.

Work normally; if any clash of the existing elements with the just generated ones occurs, a beep warning,which may be activated or not, will sound, and a small icon, located below the graphic area window, willshow whether there are clashes (red bulb) or not (green bulb).

Regardless the method used to calculate the clashes, once obtained, there is only one way to visualize andhandle the clashes: execute theView command in the Clash detection menu, and the Clash list windowwill be displayed.
