ATTACHED

ATTACHED

The ATTACHED menu can be used to find entities that are physically attached together.

Each time you press ATTACHED D3PLOT does the following:

• Looks at what you want to find attached (beams, shells etc.).
• Find what is immediately "attached to" what is currently visible .
• Unblanks these newly found items
• Redraws the image.

The result is progressively more and more of the model being drawn until nothing attached to what is currently visible (which is not necessarily the whole model) remains to be unblanked and drawn. There is a pre-programmed shortcut for pressing ATTACHED that can be assigned to a shortcut key if required.

NOTE: This is slightly simpler than the Attached function in PRIMER as it only finds items attached at nodes.
