This section details special characters used to prefix object and part names for boolean rendering, surface subdivision and others.
Boolean Operation Characters
| * | Cuts out the portion that overlaps another object and applies the surface attributes of the object (the* object itself is not rendered)
|
| - | Cuts out the portion that overlaps another object (the - object itself is not rendered)
|
| = | Applies the surface attributes of the = object to the portion of another object that is overlapped (the= object itself is not rendered)
|
| \\ | Logical sum (the portion where another object overlaps the \\ object is not rendered)
|
| $ | Logical product (only the portion where another object overlaps the $ is rendered
|
| & | Same effect as the = sign (affects only objects in the same hierarchy). Provides the effect of localapplication when combined with other Boolean operation characters.
|
| + | Not affected by the *, -, \\ and $ characters
|
| ! | Not affected by the *, -, =, \\ and $ characters
|
| ^ | Not affected by the = sign (but is affected by the *, -, \\ and $ characters)
|
Surface Subdivision Characters
| @ | No surface subdivision during rendering
|
| > | Subdivide one level coarser during rendering
|
| < | Subdivide one level finer during rendering
|
Others
| # | Exclude from rendering
|
| % | Not affected by Inverse Kinematics
|
| ~ | Exclude from selection using the mouse in the Figure window
|
| | | Target for importing and exporting the pose data
|
| _ | Part used for Plug & Socket function
