Analyzing Using Deviations

You can calculate and display the deviation of objects from reference objects. A number of points are regularly distributed across the source (on patches and faces in the u and v direction) and projected onto the reference.

Before you begin: Open a 3D Shape.
  1. In the Analyze panel, click Activate Analysis and Deviation .
  2. Select elements and add them to the Source by clicking in the header of the Deviation section.
  3. Select other elements and add them to the Reference by clicking .
  4. Set the Projection direction of the points from the source to the reference.
  5. Increase the Density.
  6. Click Labels: Global to display all deviation values.
  7. Click Calculate .
  8. Select some source or reference elements and click .
    The elements are removed from the input source or reference geometry and the analysis is recomputed.
