Shape Review

The Shape Review section of the action bar provides commands for analyzing curves and surfaces.



Wall Thickness Analysis
Displays the symbolic geometry and the numerical characteristics for all the walls and their thicknesses.
See Analyzing Wall Thicknesses.


ALM Overhang Analysis
Analyzes the draft direction on a structure to identity the areas where supports are needed to print the 3D model.
See Visualizing the Overhang Analysis.


Draft Analysis
Analyses the draft angle on a surface to ensure its manufacturing feasibility.
See Analyzing the Draft Angle.


Connect Checker Analysis
Checks and analyzes how two surfaces or curves are connected to each other based on continuity, constraints, and tolerance.
See Analyzing Connections Between Elements.


Distance Analysis
Provides a visual representation of the distance between any two geometric elements or two sets of elements.
See Analyzing the Distance Between Elements.


Porcupine Curvature Analysis
Creates a visual representation of the point, tangent, and curvature continuity of curves and surfaces.
See Analyzing Using Porcupine Curvature.


Cutting Plane Analysis
Projects curves onto surfaces, each curve representing the intersection of a cutting plane with the surfaces.
See Analyzing Using Cutting Planes.


Surfacic Curvature Analysis
Lets you assess the curvature of a surface.
See Analyzing Surface Curvature.


Dynamic Sectioning
Cuts the current part by a dynamic section.
See Creating Dynamic Section View.
Clipping Tool
See Flyout for Clipping.

Flyout for Clipping

Clipping Tool
Clips the objects outside of the defined region of interest.
See Using Clipping Tool
Edit Clipping
Defines the volume of clipping using a space.
