Right-Click Menu

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, along with its model data. The name of the new mesh will be the same as the original mesh, but with an appended number.
  • Rename – Allows the user to rename the active mesh. Names need to be unique, hence if the user enters a non-unique name, a warning message will appear and the name will be reverted.
  • Merge 2D Meshes – merges two meshes together. See the article Merge 2D Meshes.
  • 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.
  • Edit Subset – This command is only available when elements are selected. In this case, the command appears. Selecting the command creates a subset from the selected elements and enters subset editing mode.
