Global Controls

Use Global to control results appearance on the entire model. The controls in the right-click context menus and Global context panel apply to all model surfaces. Clicking Global from any of the other results tasks closes all open dialogs. A good use for Global is to quickly clear the graphics window of dialogs before you capture an image.

Global Context Panel

The Global context panel appears when Global is pressed. It is available while the Results, View, andGet Started tabs are active, and until another Task button is pressed.
