General

In the General tab you can specify the following:

Name Description
Automatically check model after boolean operation If checked, after a boolean operation it will be checked if the Boundary representation (BRep) of the model is valid. This is internally done by the function CheckGeometry.
Automatically refine model after boolean operation If checked, the model will be refined using the function RefineShape after a boolean operation.
Automatically refine model after sketch-based operation If checked, the model will be refined using the function RefineShape after a sketch of an object has been changed.
Add name of base object This option has currently no effect.


Shape view

In the Shape view tab you can specify the following:

Name Description
Maximum deviation depending on the model bounding box Maximum linear deflection of the tesselated objects from their surface
Maximum angular deflection Maximum angular deflection from one tesselated object section to the next section
