In the Project Explorer, the Mesh data folder houses all of the meshes that are contained in SMS. The Mesh data folder can hold as many meshes as the user desires, and can also generate sub folders. When a mesh is created in or read into SMS, a mesh item will be created under the Mesh Data folder. Meshes are considered 'active' when clicked on in the Project Explorer.

Mesh Module Right-Click Menus

Right-clicking on the Mesh Data folder in the Project Explorer will bring up the Display Options Dialog. Right-clicking on a Mesh Item in the Project Explorer will bring up the following menu options:

  • New Folder – Creates a new folder under the Mesh item
  • Delete – Deletes the active mesh.
  • Duplicate – this command will create a duplicate of the active mesh.
  • Rename – Allows the user to rename the active mesh.
  • Convert – Converts mesh to Map or 2D Scatter.
  • Projection – Allows the user to set the projection of the mesh.
  • Reproject – Allows the user to reproject the projection of the mesh.
  • Metadata – Allows the user to make annotations.
  • Create Quality Mesh Scatter Set – This command creates a scatter set consisting of one vertex at the center of each element in the mesh. Six datasets are created for this scatter set including the six quality measures defined in the ARR quality plot. These datasets range from 0.0 to 1.0. The higher the value, the higher the quality of the element. (If SMS supported element centered datasets, these quantities could be displayed directly on the mesh.) The creation of this scatter set gives the user a spatial feeling for quality of the mesh.
  • Zoom to Mesh – Zooms to where the mesh is located within the Graphic Window.
