Upon starting SolidMesh, a hidden directory called .SolidMesh is created in the user's home directory. This contains the set-up file called SetUp and optionally the user-specified .ad files (gui_api_#.scheme, global_api_#.ad, and gui_api.ad). The set-up file is used to store user-specified preferences. The values in the SetUp file are overwritten by the command line options and/or model file data.
SetUp file settings, descriptions, and options:
| Version: | Specifies the SolidMesh version that wrote the SetUp file. | DO NOT EDIT |
| GUI: 1 | Specifies the GUI layout to use. | Integer value |
| LeftMouseMotion: Translate | Specifies the left mouse button motion assignment. |
| MiddleMouseMotion: Rotate | Specifies the middle mouse button motion assignment. |
| RightMouseMotion: Zoom | Specifies the right mouse button motion assignment. |
| CenterOnPointOfRotation: True | Specifies whether the view is re-centered or not on the selected point of rotation. Setting this to False will result in changing the center of rotation, but the view remains the same. |
| LightIntensity: 1.0 | Specifies the intensity of the 4 lights positioned at the corner of the screen. |
|
| FacePickState: 2 | Specifies the color and transparency value of a selected Face. |
|
| BackgroundColor: 0.0 0.0 0.0 | Specifies the background color | rgb values between 0 and 1 |
| DefaultTranslateScale: 0.05 | Specifies the initial scaling factor for the translation sensitvity. | Real value |
| DefaultRotateScale: 0.025 | Specifies the initial scaling factor for the rotation sensitvity. | Real value |
| DefaultZoomScale: 0.025 | Specifies the initial scaling factor for the zoom sensitvity. | Real value |
| PickRadius: 10 | Specifies the size (in pixels) of the picking radius about the mouse pointer. | Integer value |
| Debug: DEBUG_OFF | Specifies additional information written to the xterm window. | Integer value |
| ActivateUniformPointSpacingFunction: False | Activates the F2 function key to apply the point spacing value from the Point Spacing text field to all vertices and generate the edge grid. |
| DefaultSurfaceSpline: C2_CUBIC | Specifies the default surface splining operation when importing Plot3D data. |
| CAPRI_server: NULL | Machine name of the CAPRI server. | Character string |
| CAPRI_port: False | Specifies if the CAPRI server uses a secure connection. |
| CAPRI_angle: 12.0 | Maximum angle (in degrees) between triangle neighbors. | Real value |
| CAPRI_maxlen: 0.05 | Fraction of the min-max box diagonal of the model volume to set the maximum triangle side length. | Real value |
| CAPRI_deviat: 0.001 | Fraction of the min-max box diagonal of the model volume to set the Maximum deviation between the parametric center of the triangle and the surface. | Real value |
