Template Editor - Test Column

(This functionality is available with the Profiles and Design Module)

The Template Editor Test column allows the user to see the results of the True and False tests. The graphic view of the template always shows a single surface line, as this will always be the result of applying a template to form a cross section. As a template can consist of numerous tests and conditions there could be a large variety of paths that could be taken. Displaying all of these path combinations simultaneously would become very confusing. To overcome this situation the Test check box has been introduced so that the user can set the result of a surface intersection as either True or False and therefore view what the resultant surface would be.

If there is no intersecting surface the result is always considered to be False and hence the Test check box is disabled and turned off. If there is an intersecting surface then there is both a True and False condition and the Test check box will be active. To view the results of the intersecting surface test as being True click the Test check box on. To view the results of the intersecting surface test as being False click the Test check box off.

Use the Test check boxes to view all the possible surface combinations your template can create.
