| Curve Curvature Analysis |
| Display Curve Curvature: Displays a set of lines representing the curvature of the surface. The length of the lines is inversely proportional to the radius of curvature. Type: Choose the type of curve display (Iso Curve - curvature along iso-curves as specified in the viewport display settings, Natural - natural surface curvature, Min - minimum surface curvature, Max - maximum surface curvature) Scale: Define the radius of curvature for the selected arc Density: Determines the curve display density |
| Surface Curvature Analysis |
| Display Surface Curvature: Displays a colored mesh representing various curvature properties of the mesh. This will show areas of high curvature or inflection and may indicate that the surface needs further adjustment or redesign. Type: Choose the surface analysis display type (Gaussian - product of principle curvatures , Mean = mean of principle curvatures, Min = minimum principle curvature, Max = maximum principle curvature) Std Dev. Multiples: Used to control the mapping of the colors onto the mesh. 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). |
