User Case 4: Working in Expo Mode

This user case demonstrates how to use Expo Mode, designed for presentations and demonstrations of crystal models.

Steps to Use Expo Mode

  1. Open a Demo Model or Your Own Model: Start by opening either a demo model or a model of your choice.

  2. Activate Expo Mode: Press the Rotate button in the Toolbar to activate Expo Mode. The model will follow an automated ∞-shape rotation, showcasing different features with a sequence of effects.

  3. Sequence of Effects:

    • Initial Rotation: The model rotates to provide a full 3D view.

    • Opacity Change: The transparency of the model gradually shifts from 100% to 40%, revealing internal structures.

    • Defect Highlighting: Each defect category blinks on and off sequentially.

    • Core Appearance: If cores have been defined, they will appear one by one at two-second intervals.

    • Wafer Display: Wafers appear at 0.5-second intervals, showing the cutting plan.

    • Green Wafer Highlight: Green wafers (good material) blink for five seconds.

    • Red Wafer Highlight: Red wafers (bad material) blink for five seconds.

    • Wafer Disappearance: Wafers vanish, leaving an unobstructed view of the crystal.

    • Opacity Reset: The transparency resets back to 100%.

  4. Looping Presentation: The sequence loops back to the initial rotation, providing a continuous dynamic presentation of the crystal model.

Expo Mode is ideal for visual presentations, highlighting key elements of the crystal such as defects, cores, and wafering plans.
