  Curve Curvature Analysis  

Display Curve Curvature:  perpendicular to the vector
Type:  Choose the type of curve display (Iso Curve = display iso curves, Natural = , Min = , Max = 
Scale:  Define the radius of curvature for the selected arc
Density:  Determines the curve display density

  Surface Curvature Analysis  

Display Surface Curvature:  perpendicular to the vector
Type:  Choose the surface analysis display type (Gaussian = , Mean = , Min = , Max =
Std Dev. Multiples:  
Use Min/Max Range:  Turn this option on to show a colored display showing the range of values across the surface.
Min:  The maximum value range (surface areas where curvature exceeds this maximum value will display in red).  Note, to use Min/Max ranges, make sure to check the "Use Min/Max Range" check box.
Max:  The maximum value range (surface areas where curvature exceeds this maximum value will display in red).
