What is a Topology?
Topologies can be used to define specific regions in space based on spatial constraints. For example, a Clipping Box is a simple spatial constraint that uses the six faces of a cuboid to define the three-dimensional region of a topology. Each topology can be split up again into finer subdivisions, giving one the flexibility to use as many hierarchical levels as required to model a specific case.
All topologies of a scan project are stored within the same Navigation Pane.

- Select the "New Topology" option from the context menu
Activate a Topology
- Hover the mouse cursor over the desired topology
- Click on the "Display" icon that appears next to the name
Change / update a Topology
