How to turn on display of domain/boundary/point numbers (in Model Builder~Graphics Window)

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

A very simple question for which I cannot seem to find an answer! ..... nor successfully managed to locate it within documentation.

In the Graphics Window within Model Builder, it is often desirable to turn on/off the display of domain, boundary and/or point numbers. This can apply most commonly to meshes, but is also useful in results display/visualisation at times (e.g. when looking at contour plot on 2d surfaces).

Whilst there is access to varying degrees of Graphics Windows functionality/manipulation, via icons which appear above the window (...the number and extent of which are contextual), there is no obvious access to a whole host of possible annotations, even if that as a minimum simply comprises turning on/off all of the domain, boundary and/or point numbers...

Anthony-

Click on Definitions>View 1. Then, in the Settings window, check the box next to Show geometry labels.

Now, when you are in Materials or any Physics Interface or Mesh you will see geometry label numbers show up in the graphics window. They don't show up while building Geometry (only the object label names show) and I don't see them show up under Results.

Use the Geometric entity filters in the icon list above the graphics window to cycle through displaying the label numbers of domains, boundaries, edges (3D only), and points.
