Analyzing Using Highlight

You can create a highlight analysis. It illustrates the shape of surfaces and its transition quality and, in the ClassA context, is an essential visual aid to quickly assess the surface quality.

Before you begin: Open a 3D Shape.
  1. In the Analyze panel, click Activate Analysis and Highlight .
    The model is displayed with the Default highlight analysis variant.

    The Global/Local icon changes to blue indicating that you performed a global analysis on all elements that are visible in the work area.

  2. Select Projection: Cylinder and change to the front view.
  3. Select the Black and White highlight variant.
  4. Increase the number of highlight lines with Cycles.

    The highlight lines are projected from the interior side of an imaginary cylinder.
  5. Change the Clip value to define the brightness or color transition quality.

  6. Change the Shine value to define the highlight line width.

  7. Click the Type: Shaded color button and select another highlight line color.
  8. Select Transparency for a transparent display.
