Generating a pleat medium produces a GeoDict result file (*.gdr) and a result folder with the same name. Both are saved in the chosen project folder (File → Choose Project Folder... in the menu bar).

The GeoDict Result Viewer opens for the result file and in the Results – Report subtab find some information about the resulting structures.

The GAD object number is the number of layers in the pleat medium. Each of the layers is a different GAD-object. To learn more about analytical objects in GeoDict refer to the GadGeo User Guide.

The Surface triangulation number is either 1 or the number of pleat layers, depending on whether Write Multiple Files is selected in the Output tab of the Cylindrical Pleat Options dialog.

To load the STL files move to the Data Visualization tab. Select which layers should be loaded and click Load *.stl.

A dialog asks if the structure should be set to invisible. Click Yes to only visualize the triangles. The structure visualization can be turned on and off at any time by checking or unchecking the Structure tab in the Visualization panel.

In the Visualization panel use the options in the Triangles tab to change the visualization of the triangle mesh. For example, set the View Mode to Hidden Lines to view the triangles building the structure.

For more detailed information about the STL format and its visualization refer to the ImportGeo-CAD User Guide. To learn more about the general visualization settings in GeoDict refer to the Visualization User Guide.
