• Key Concepts: 
  Back-facing geometry is a feature of SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE) that allows users to view 3D models from the back side. This feature is useful for inspecting the back side of a model, such as a car or an airplane, to ensure that all components are correctly placed and connected. It also allows users to view the model from different angles and perspectives. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use back-facing geometry in SAP Visual Enterprise, users must first open the 3D model they wish to view. Then, they can select the “Back-Facing Geometry” option from the menu bar. This will enable them to view the model from the back side. They can also rotate and zoom in on the model to get a better view of all components. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using back-facing geometry, it is important to remember that some components may not be visible from the back side. To ensure that all components are visible, users should rotate and zoom in on the model from different angles and perspectives. Additionally, users should take advantage of the “Highlight” feature in SAP Visual Enterprise to highlight specific components for easier viewing.
