- [Instructor] Here I opened up a part to talk
about sketch visualizations.
So I'm going to go ahead and enter in my sketcher,
select my Sketch icon, pick a plane that I want to work on,
and I enter in my sketch.
So the first visualization I want to discuss,
actually, let me go ahead and turn off the grid
and snap the point.
And I'm going to rotate this just a little bit.
The first visualization tool is what's called
Cut Part By Sketch Plane.
When I toggle that on, everything currently
in front of the sketch plane is removed.
Again, it's just simply a visualization.
It's not a permanent removal.
It's just what you're looking at.
So, if I come over here, and let's say highlight this face,
you'll notice the whole face still is there,
it's still highlighting the entire thing.
It's just again, strictly a visualization.
Now, as I mosey on down the Visualization toolbar,
I'm going to go ahead and pull this out.
And this is my Visu3D.
Here you can see Usual, which is, by default,
what we're looking at.
If I go to Low Light, what this does is,
it takes everything in the model and makes it low light
and makes the sketch stand out a little bit more.
And then, the last option is No 3D Background.
So, by selecting that, you basically turn
off all 3D background elements.
Again, it's still there.
It's just strictly a visualization.
If you're working in a large sketch, or you're working
in a large file, or a lot of data, you want to turn
off all the background data, makes it easy to sketch,
maybe you're just trying to sketch
a tiny little seal profile on a door,
and there's all sorts of interference,
you can turn everything off, sketch what you need,
and as soon as you exit out of the sketch,
the visualization returns or you can
just simply go back to Usual.
Another visualization tool set, let me go ahead
and pull this out, is the 2D Visualization Mode,
and right now, it's called Pickable Visible Background.
And next is No 3D Background, which is very similar
to what we just saw here, No 3D Background.
I also have Unpickable Background, so the background
is still there, but you'll notice that I can
no longer pick anything in the background.
And this can be very handy.
Again, if you're working with a lot of data
out on the screen, you want to make sure
you're not picking anything accidentally
that's not in the sketch.
Again, if I go back to Standard, you'll see that I'm back
being able to pick things.
The next one over is Low Intensity Background.
So, it's similar to my Low Light, in that it's going
to de-emphasize everything in the background.
Now, I'm going to just go back over to Usual, go back to that.
And, as you can see, I still have
my Low Intensity Background.
It changes everything to one singular color
when you use Low Intensity Background.
And then, Unpickable Low Intensity.
Right now you can see it's Low Intensity, but pickable,
and I can say Unpickable, nothing there.
And this just locks the current viewpoint.
So, as you can see, I can rotate,
but the viewpoint itself is locked, so I can't break
off of that current viewpoint, meaning it's locked
in that orientation.
So, I'm basically looking down at that Z,
and it stays locked in at that Z, so again,
it's a handy tool to use on occasion.
I use it occasionally as well.
So, those are the visualizations.
Now, additional visualizations that we need to be aware of.
I'm just going to go ahead and draw a rectangle.
You'll notice that I automatically created the constraints,
so the sketch tools say automatically create them,
but if I go down to the Visualization tool bar,
you'll see that I have Dimensional
and Geometrical constraints.
I'm going to go ahead and throw on a dimensional constraint.
Here, again this is just purely a visual, I can turn
off Dimensional, turn it back on.
So, all I'm doing is looking at those constraints.
Sometimes it's nice to turn everything off
to see what you have, what you don't have.
So, these visualization tools, again,
just to make it easier to look at, inspect,
verify what you have in the sketch.
