This chapter deals with curve and surface analysis. Within the
FreeStyle Shaper, analyses are elements that need to be explicitly deleted
if you do not wish to keep them. |
|
The FreeStyle Dashboard tools do not affect the analyses. |
|
Selecting curves and surfaces in implicit mode: CCK
types between two curves and/or surfaces. |
|
Check
connections between surfaces: select two surfaces, specify the type
of analysis (distance, tangency, curvature) and set the analysis
parameters. |
|
Check
connections between curves: select two curves, specify the type of
analysis (distance, tangency, curvature) and set the analysis
parameters. |
|
Checking connections between curves and surfaces: select one curve
and one surface, specify the type of analysis (distance, tangency,
curvature) and set the analysis parameters. |
|
Analyze the distance between two sets of elements: select a surface and
a target element, specify the analysis mode, type, and display parameters. |
|
Use dynamic cutting planes: select a
surface, specify the cutting planes orientation, numbers, spacing, etc. |
|
Analyze using highlight lines: select a
surface, and specify the highlight type. |
|
Perform a curvature analysis: select a curve or surface boundary,
specify the curvature comb parameters (spikes number and length,
orientation, etc.). |
|
Perform a surfacic curvature analysis: select a surface and specify the
display parameters. |
|
Perform a draft analysis: select a surface and specify the display
parameters. |
|
Map an environment on a surface: choose
the mapping to be reflected onto every element. |
|
Analyze using isophotes: specify the
isophotes number, thickness, color, and position. |
|
Analyze using highlights: click the ACA Highlight icon and define
stripes or grid lines density, thickness and sharpness. |
|
Manipulate light sources: click the icon,
define the mode and manipulation parameters |
