11: List of Surfaces / Quick Selection / Switching Surface
visible-invisible
Below the graphic windows you find a list box, which lists all surfaces build
into the airplane. The following example shows a biplane.
The active surface is shaded in colour, e.g. wing no. 1 with designation 'lower
Wing'. One can quickly select the desired wing with one mouse click.
In front of every entry in the list of surfaces you find a selected check-box
If you deselect a check-box, the appropriate wing disappears from the graphic.
The appropriate wing still exists and is taken into account by later
aerodynamic computations – it is only invisible. Selecting the check-box again
makes the surface visible. The pictures below illustrate this function with the
upper wing.
