Filtered Views

The View Filters functionality within MasterFrame allows the view of a model to be customized to display specific members, groups of members and various viewing groups. The aim of the view filters is to give control over what information appears on the screen at any time.

When initially selecting the View Filter drop down the following drop down menu is as shown below.

The available filtering options are:

• Orientation
• Materials
• Sections
• Member Viewing Groups
• Member Design Groups
• Finite Element Surface Filters
• Finite Element Surface Components Filters
• Nodal Viewing Groups

Each View Filter has a range of sub options associated with it, which give further filtering filters to refine the view selection.
