    Graphical Indications of Manual Mesh Sizing

    When the mesh is manually defined, mesh seeds are displayed based on the selection mode:

    • When mesh sizes are applied to volumes, reference points are drawn on all edges of the volumes.
    • If a smaller size is applied a few surfaces or edges, then only the reference points for those surface or edge definitions appear when the selection mode is set to Surface or Edge.

    All applied mesh sizes are listed in the Mesh branch of the Design Study Bar.
