This page gives a brief introduction to the different tools of the “capacity” viewer. In order to use this tool, we advise you to watch the following videos on youtube.
Capacity Viewer
After sending your file for calculation, the result is displayed in the “capacity” viewer which allows you to obtain the volume and see the axis and profile extraction but also to correct some errors (“dpi” value , profile and/or incorrect extracted axis, …). Below we show a screenshot of the viewer after calculating a volume and the two main parts of it: the drawing area where the result is displayed and the toolbar which contains all buttons allowing you to perform an action on the drawing area.
