FlowSight: Load flsgrf + external STL

frankyd · November 9, 2017, 12:48

All,

I have a Flow-3D simulation and I would like to add a static STL to show details beyond the fluid domain.
When loading the flsgrf, then loading the STL, FlowSight creates a separate Viewport for each. I would like them to be concurrent in space.

I have looked at loading the STL into Flow-3D first, but then my mesh has to be much larger to include all of the STL.

If you click on the stl in the geometry list and then activate the right viewport by the "visibilty per viewport" you should get it right where you want it. "viewport by the visibilty" is hidden behind a button (something with an eye on top), that appears only when you acivate something in the list (geometry, clip etc), and even sometimes doesn't.
Hope that is what you meant
