Evaluate > IsoAngle
 
 
 

Displays iso-angle lines on surfaces. This lets you visually evaluate continuity across surface boundaries. You can also use this tool to create iso-angle curves-on-surface.

Iso Angle Control

Type of Bands

Controls whether iso-angle lines are white (Single) or colored (Multiple).

Width of Single Band

The width of white band iso-angle lines. This option is only available if Type of Bands is Single.

Repeat Multiple Bands

The number of times colored band iso-angle lines are repeated on each surface. This option is only available if Type of Bands is Multiple.

Shaded surface

Controls whether iso-angle lines are displayed as shaded lines (checked) or not (unchecked).

Visual Curves

Controls whether iso-angle lines are displayed as curves-on-surface (checked) or not (unchecked).

Tolerance
When Visual Curves is checked on, this value defines the quality of the visual curves independently of the tessellation tolerance. This lets you set the visual tolerance to a smaller value to get better quality visual curves, without reducing the tessellation tolerance used for shading.
Blur

The blurriness of iso-angle line edges. This option is only available if Shaded surface is on.

Vector

The position of the vector represented by the arrow icon (light source).

Transparency

The transparency of surfaces with iso-angle lines.
