Graphical User Interface New Capabilities

The NOVICE advanced OpenGL 3D Viewer now offers the following features:

• Locate and isolate any object(s) by any of 23 searchable parameters
  

  • This feature is especially useful for the large CAD files NOVICE is uniquely well equipped to process. The 23 categories are: name, object_name, object #, material #, # polys, # surface, minimum_LWH, maximum_LWH, x_length, y_width, z_height, diagonal, area, volume, box_area, box_volume, volume_ratio, minimum_x, maximum_x, minimum_y, maximum_ y, minimum_z, maximum_z

• Instantly select any object(s) via geom.txt or tree.txt files
  

  • Copying a .wrl file is no longer necessary

• Change CAD file material and density parameters for any object or set of objects instantly within the GUI

  • This automated process enables the user to simply click to access a materials library and select a new material

  • The process eliminates the previous steps of copying and pasting or running another .exe

  • The automation saves engineering hours

• Reposition any object on screen, a step beyond

• 3D rotating Panning: an in-system viewing perspective allowing the user to “look around” within a system

• Change viewer background color for optimal contrast for a given object or system
