Multiple Windows and Models

Multiple Windows and Models

From D3PLOT 9.3 (Nov 2008) onwards, D3PLOT supports the following permutation of multiple windows and models.

• Up to 32 windows may be defined.
• Up to 32 models may be current in memory.
• Any permutation of model(s) may appear in any window(s), subject to the limit of 100 "instances" of window/model combinations.
• Windows may be arranged on up to 32 "pages".
  
  

This example shows four separate models in four separate windows.

This example also shows how each window can have totally separate attributes: display mode, state number, view, background colour, etc. These can be controlled separately or collectively by using the "tabs" on each menu panel.

Where a window contains multiple models all that models in that window are given the same attributes (component, surface, etc); however it is possible to distinguish between models by:

• Separating them artificially in space
• Giving them different colours
• Drawing them in different modes (wireframe, shaded, etc)
