Display Properties Rollout

Display Properties Rollout

Display panel - Display Properties rollout

Procedures

To display trajectories using the Display panel:

1. Select one or more animated objects.
2. Right-click the selection, and choose Properties.
3. In the Display properties group, click By Layer to change it to By Object, and then click OK.
4. Expand the Display Properties rollout in the Display panel.
5. Turn on Trajectory. By default, object trajectories appear with the following properties:
   
   • The trajectory curve is drawn in red.
   • Frame increments display as white dots on the curve.
   • Position keys display as red boxes surrounding the appropriate frame dot on the curve. The boxes are white when the object is selected.
   • If Views - Show Key Times is turned on, the keyframe numbers are displayed along side the keys on the trajectory. Trajectories can also be displayed through Object Properties. Right-click any object and choose Properties, then in the Display properties group change By Layer to By Object. Turn on Trajectories when it becomes available in the Display Properties group.
   You can change the colors for these items on the Colors panel of the Customize User Interface dialog.

You can also use object properties to display trajectories: right-click any object and choose Properties, then turn on Trajectory.

Display as Box

Toggles the display of selected objects, including 3D objects and 2D shapes, as bounding boxes. Produces minimum geometric complexity.
Particle systems appear as bounding boxes when adaptive degradation takes effect. Because particle systems exist in world space, their bounding box is always oriented parallel to the world planes.

Backface Cull

Toggles the display of faces, edges, and vertices with normals pointing away from the point of view. When off, all entities are visible. Default=off.

Edges Only

Toggles the display of hidden edges and polygon diagonals. When on, only outside edges appear. When off, all mesh geometry appears. Applies to Wireframe viewport display mode, as well as other modes with Edged Faces turned on.

Vertex Ticks

Displays the vertices in the selected geometry as tick marks.
If the current selection has no displayed tick marks, the check box is clear. If some of the vertices in the current selection display tick marks, the check box contains a gray X. If all vertices in the current selection display tick marks, the check box contains a black X.
