A mesh node's features and options can be applied automatically when the "Mesh interactive" mode is enabled (which is not the case by default). This means that you do not have to rebuild the entire mesh to see the changes you have made, and the new mesh is updated in RealFlow's viewport without having to press a button. The live mesh option can be subdivided into two categories:

 To make use of this feature, a short workflow is necessary:

...

  • Go to the frame of interest and create a single mesh with Mesh enable Mesh shelf > Build meshMesh interactive mode
  • A mesh will be created automatically.
  • Tweak your settings with live updates.
  • Confirm these adjustments by creating another a mesh with the “Build mesh” command.
  • Mesh the entire sequence with Mesh shelf > Build Mesh Sequence

...

Info
Please bear in mind that the changes are only temporary and not applied to the mesh file. To “bake” your settings to the final mesh and export them, it is still necessary to build the mesh you are currently working on. In other words: if you hit “Simulate” the meshes will not be cached until you have “confirmed” your settings with a “Build Mesh” action.
