Analysis tools are useful for finding distances, lengths, areas, and volume. They also allows you to analyze curve/surface curvature and tangency.
solidThinking Curvature Display also offers the possibility to dynamically analyze smoothness, curvature and other important properties of your models by evaluating surface curvature, reflection lines and environment mapping. can be used to visually while you edit them.
- Evaluation tools: distance between two points; length of a curve; length of a part of a curve; interactive curve curvature/tangency;
interactive surface curvature/tangency; surface area; volume.
- Surface curvature evaluation shaders for automotive and product design, including shaders using analytical anti-aliasing.
- NEW Mold design false color shader, for evaluating draft angles of mold designs.
- NEW Tolerance check. Detects any gaps between surface patches. Thanks to the Construction Tree, tolerance can be adjusted to make the model "water tight".
- NEW Tools for evaluating draft angles of mold designs.
- NEW Interactive curvature display. Interactive visualization of surface curvature while editing. The following methods: mean curvature, gaussian curvature, absolute curvature.
- NEW Interactive reflection lines display. Allows to analyze surface smoothness and curvature by using zebra stripes.
- NEW Interactive environment mapping display. Allows to analyze the surface curvature by using environment mapping.
