Command Overview

Toggle the display of wireframe shared edges on or off during wireframe verification.

After wireframe data has been merged (or intersected) with the wireframe- merge command, the shared edges between the intersected surfaces are identified with an adjacency value of -1 (stored in the fields TRE1ADJ, TRE2ADJ, TRE3ADJ). Each surface component that is bounded by other intersecting surfaces is assigned a new surface number and can then be independently manipulated.

This toggle allows the shared edges, or merge lines to be displayed during the wireframe-verify, and to be output as strings if the wf- convert-line-switch toggle is on. The strings cannot be created without the display toggle set on.
