• Due to limitations in the 3D data, gear teeth cannot be represented three-dimensionally. Instead, gears and similar parts are each displayed using a different color. In addition, color is also used to distinguish between PCBs and brackets, as well as to make sensors more easily visible.

• If the user wishes to restore the image in the Main Image Area from a transparent view to a normal (color-filled) view, this can be done by double-clicking on the image.
