5.3 - Changing the Isosurface Properties - Tutorial

 

We can experiment with the isovalue (constant value) to change the isosurface appearance.

 

To change the isosurface properties:

  1. Click on the Isosurface module in the Network Manager to select it.

  2. In the Property Manager, click on the General tab.

  3. Change the value next to Isovalue by double-clicking on the default value, typing 20, and pressing ENTER on your keyboard. Alternatively, the next to the number can be moved to change the Isovalue. A new isosurface is calculated and immediately displayed in the Viewer window.

  1. In the Property Manager, click the GrayScale color spectrum next to Colormap and select Rainbow.

  2. In the Property Manager, open the Material section by clicking the next to Material.

  3. Change the Opacity value by highlighting the existing value, typing 0.5, and pressing ENTER on your keyboard or moving the until the value is 0.5. Changing the Opacity to a lower value allows the isosurface to be partially transparent. The lower the value, the more transparent the isosurface.
