Apply

Applies the currently defined transformation(s)

The following actions take place:

• All data that has been read in for the active model are deleted from memory
• All windows that reference this model have their cached data deleted, and also any element normals (for lighting) that have been computed are deleted.

This means that any future operations referencing the active model (plots, WRITE, etc) force a fresh "read from disk" operation during which the new transformations are applied.

For large models on a slow or remote disk this can be a slow operation (it is nearly equivalent to closing and reopening the model), so it is best to get transformations sorted out before building large animations.
