+==== Geometries view ====
 The Geometries view displays all geometries associated with the project.
-In the case of empty, new projects, these can also be created; after an import of the Index Excel, these are already recorded.
 To capture the current status of all geometries, they should be synchronized. This checks whether geometries are physically present and if so, whether they have been changed since the last update.

 **Tasks**
-In the list of geomtries, a click can open the detailed view with all meshes and other information. By the back button another geometry can be selected. The button **View** shows again the details of an already selected geometry.
+In the list of geomtries, a click select and geometry from the list and clicking again, the detailed view with all meshes and other information will be shown. By the back button another geometry can be selected. The button **View** shows again the details of an already selected geometry.
-The **Sync** button compares the existing information of the geometries with current changes in the directory of the project. Changes are indicated by the statuses **Modified** or **Deleted**.
+The **Sync changes from disk** button compares the existing information of the geometries with current changes in the directory of the project. Changes are indicated by the statuses **Modified** or **Deleted**.
-To create a new geometry by hand, the **Add** button can be used.
+The geometry manager can create a detailed report about the project, geometries and all other information. This can be sent as a supporting file to the supplier of the geometries. The creation of the report starts with a click on the button **Create pdf report**.
-To import an set of geometries from an zip file, the **Import** button can be used.
+The geometry manager supports the creation and maintenance of products in projects as additional information. The view for this can be called up by clicking on the **Show and modify products** button. More details about products can be found in the **[[ig:gfx:geometrymanager_view_products|Products and products view page]]**.
-The GM can create a detailed report about the project, geometries and all other information. This can be sent as a supporting file to the supplier of the geometries. The creation of the report starts with a click on the button **Report**.
+**Reports**
-As described in the chapter **[[ig:gfx:geometrymanager_start|First start]]**, the GM imports the geometry list, the product list and other information from an Index Excel file. However, the GM can also create such an Index Excel file. For this purpose the button **Xls** can be used.
+Reports help to process and pass on feedback on the status of the geometries and products, e.g. to the suppliers of the geometries.
-**Add a new geometry**
+Reports are always generated in PDF format.
-In the new geometry window at least one name must be assigned. In this case a new, still empty geometry will be added to the project. The button **Load Zip** can be used to specify a ZIP file with a contained geometry, this is then automatically inserted in the project and in the geometry folder. Geometry names cannot be assigned twice. With **Save** the new geometry is saved and the window is closed, with **Save and next** another geometry etc. can be added.
+Reports can be configured in an first shown window and the following options are supported:
-**Import geometries**
+__Geometries__
-The GM supports the import of multiple geometries from a zip archive. In the window you can specify which mode should be used for the import:
+**Hide finished geometries**: only geometries that have not been marked as finished (status "Accepted") are included in the report.
-  * Variant **Flat file**: all geometries or meshes are available as individual files on one directory level in the zip file and are imported 1:1 into the project as new geometry. In flat mode, you can aslo select the geometries for the import.
+**Show attachments**: adds all attachments (images) assigned to the geometries to the list of geometries.
-  * Variant **Structured geometries**: all geometries and further information like e.g. normal maps are already available in the structure supported by IG.Creator/IG.AssetLoader, i.e. per geometry there is one folder with the corresponding files.
+Attachments can be used to supplement geometries with sketches or dimensional drawings that can help in the creation process.
-**Reports**
+__Files__
+**Show files**: lists in the individual geometries the files such as meshes, normal maps and/or deformations.
+**Show simple filelist**: normally the files are extended with information like size and date of processing, herewith this can be deactivated.
+Information about files can help to detect and check problems with wrong delivered geometries.
+__History__
+**Show history**: shows all entries in the history of the geometries.
+**Hide entries from sync...**: hides all entries in the history that originate from the synchronization.
-**Excel export**
+The GM distinguishes between history entries generated by the user or remarks (e.g. attachments with images as feedback to geometries) and entries created automatically by the synchronization, e.g. "Standard mesh found".
-**Products**
+Feedback for the geometry supplier can be created by the history options. Hiding the automatically generated entries makes this information more targeted.
+All options can be enabled or disabled by one click.
