Catia V5 not showing points

Catia V5 not showing points

Catia V5 not showing points

(OP)
We just upgraded to Catia V5 R21 and in part design it's showing planes about 4 times the size they should be as well as not displaying any points created with GSD
Any thoughts or solutions?

RE: Catia V5 not showing points

@zagarao
I think the size of planes is controlled in Tools > Options. I don't have CATIA open at the moment, but it's probably on the Display tab under the Infrastructure > Part Infrastructure section.



If not, then try the Mechanical Design section of the tree in the Tools > Options window. Lastly, you might try one of the tabs under General > Display.

It could be your view setting.

View - Render style - Custom View - All points.

tools options:

With Pixel Culling >= 3 you wont see point in 3D.

Lower the value to see points.

Worked like a charm, thanks guys!

RE: Catia V5 not showing points

Damn itsmyjob, that is some funky stuff. You can't tell me that was the intention when Dassault thought of Pixel Culling as a technique to simplify the visualisation process?

RE: Catia V5 not showing points

it does help when you have big assembly with zillions of tiny bits...
