 A Visualization Settings block allows configuring the display of the visualization.
-The inputs are the maximum and minimum fraction of the full scale of the quantity you want to visualize, and an index indicating a different legend color scale to use. The defaults are to visualize the full range of the quantity of interest, and the default color scale is a rainbow color scale.
+The inputs are the maximum and minimum fraction of the full scale of the quantity you want to visualize, an index to select a different legend color scale, and a boolean toggle to enable or disable the display of boundary condition glyphs. The defaults are to visualize the full range of the quantity of interest, the default color scale is a rainbow color scale, and the default is to hide the boundary condition glyphs.
 For example, to visualize the middle 50% of range of the quantity of interest, set ''Lmin'' to 0.25 and ''Lmax'' to 0.75.

+The sampler block samples a solution at a set of points.  It has 3 inputs:
   * the solution to be sampled
   * list of points in (or on) the geometry where the solution is sampled

 The outputs are as follows:
   * a list of the names of the solution quantities
   * a tree of solution values at the input points
   * a list of the corresponding points where the sampling occurred (these points may or may not correspond identically with the input points)

 ===== Visualization Hints =====
-** Z-fighting ** Visualization of results is best performed with the original geometry on a hidden layer or in Rhino viewports that are in wireframe mode.  This avoids the z-fighting that occurs when Rhino draws both the original geometry and the simulation results.
+Note: you may have to hide other geometries that interfere with the result visualization (** Z-fighting **) and also use Wireframe mode. Other geometries may have been added through Grasshopper (hide by **turning off Preview** for the GH block) or through Rhino (using Rhino's **Hide** command)

+Usage of deflection scale to animate the part deflection.

 ** Previews ** In the same vein, the inputs to the simulation (components, loads, and restraints) can have their previews turned off to avoid their geometry interfering with the visualization of results.
