Using the Range command affects the display and operation of other 3D graphics highlighting options. For example, if part of the model is not visible because of the use of the Range command, then the Diameters command only highlights the elements that are visible. Also, if using the Range command hides any nodes containing the predefined displacements, the Displacements legend grid still displays, but the model may not highlight correctly.

Find may not work properly for the part of the model that is hidden by the range. The corresponding message displays in the status bar.
