Function

Description

Main Tools

Measurement

Measure distance, angles, curvature and general data of objects and entities.

Main Tools

Direction Analysis

Analyze selected faces and visualize their draft angle with reference to a defined direction.

Main Tools

Curvature Map

Map the different curvature radii of faces and then color the faces giving each range of radii a different color.

Main Tools

Wall Thickness Analysis

Analyze the wall thickness of objects.

Main Tools

Display Open Edges

Control the visibility of open edges. Display or hide any open edges in entities.

Main Tools

Compare

Compare and detect changes between the active part (original) and a selected (reference) part. These changes can then be edited and the model consequently updated.

Main Tools

 

2D Bounding

Create a 2D (projected) Bounding Box contour around selected entities. Pick one or more 2D contours and the system finds the tightest square, circle, or enclosing polygon that completely surrounds the selected contour(s).

Main Tools

 

Stock

Obtain the overall size of a part or create a bounding box (stock) around it.

Geometry Inspection

Check & Fix Entities

Analyze the integrity of geometry, view the results and enable problematic entities to be fixed.

Geometry Inspection

Body Integrity Analysis

Analyze various geometry quality issues of a selected B-rep object.

Geometry Inspection

Hide/Show Analysis Marks

Hide or show the analysis marks created by the last used analysis operation. The markings are areas indicated as problematic during the analysis.

Geometry Inspection

Delete Analysis Marks

Delete selected analysis marks created by the last used analysis operation. The markings are areas indicated as problematic during the analysis.

Tools

Zebra Shading On/Off

Turn Zebra Shading On/Off. This function is useful for visual smoothness assessment.
