Patchwork 3D Community 2021.1 X5

User Interface (UI) Tab

The UI tab provides controls for elements of the user interface.

In the 3D viewport in Shaper, you can:

  • Force 3D Patchwork to Switch to isometric in orbit. This option is disabled by default. When enabled, the 3D viewport switches automatically to isometric mode when the Orbit navigation mode (Mode > Orbit or the Ckeyboard shortcut) is selected.

  • Flip image vertically in all of the open viewports. This option, which is disabled by default, is not compatible with the Head Up display (Visualization > Head Up).

The Viewport behavior.

In the main interface of Shaper, you can:

  • Show head up display at startup. This option is enabled by default.

  • Use same viewport configuration for all models, if your database includes several. This option is disabled by default.

  • Use custom interface color. This color is used for the background of the menu bar and for the background of the information bar at the bottom of the interface. Click on the color thumbnail in order to choose a different color.

  • Indicate the colors to use for the border around the active 3D viewport and for the background when the option Show Selected Only is enabled. Click on the color thumbnail in order to choose a different color.

  • Indicate the colors to use for the border around the active 3D viewport and for the background when the option Lock Selection is active. Click on the color thumbnail in order to choose a different color.

In the main interface of Matter, you can:

  • Automatically update product thumbnail in the right-hand sidebar. This option is enabled by default.

  • User multilayer material as default material. This option is disabled by default.

  • Use stylized material thumbnail.

  • Use custom interface color. This color is used for the background of the menu bar and for the background of the information bar at the bottom of the interface. Click on the color thumbnail in order to choose a different color.

  • Set the product tab policy for the 3D viewports. In the Show product tabs drop-down menu, choose one of the three options:

    • Always: tabs will always be shown in viewports, even when there is only one product loaded in the viewport.

    • When needed: tabs will be visible when several products are assigned to the same 3D viewport. Otherwise, tabs will not be show in viewports.

    • Never: tabs in viewports will never be show. Several products may still be assigned to the same 3D viewport, but the interface does not provide a clickable means of navigating among them.

Set the product tab policy for the 3D viewports.

You also have control over certain properties of the main monitor. You can correct the values calculated by default for the Width of the main screen and its Resolution.
