Measure deviations using the Show deviations tool in the Modeling control panel
 
 
 

This icon lets you create and change deviation combs.

To create deviation combs

  1. Pick all the scan lines/section data sets (curves)/polygonal data sets and surfaces between which you want to calculate the deviation.
  2. Click the Show deviations tool at the bottom of the Modeling control panel.
  3. Adjust the options in the Deviation section of the Modeling control panel.

To quickly display the deviation comb

  1. Pick either the surface or the scan-line/section data (curve)/polygonal data which contains the deviation comb.
  2. Click the Deviation button in the Display area of the Control panel.

To quickly hide the deviation comb

  1. Pick either the surface or the scan-line/section data (curve)/polygonal data which contains the deviation comb.
  2. Click the Deviation buttonin the Display area of the Control panel.

To delete deviation combs

  1. Click the Pick > Locator tool, and then click on the deviation comb. This will highlight the deviation comb.
  2. Select Delete > Delete Active to delete this active locator.

To create minimum and maximum deviation locators between a surface and a mesh

  1. Pick a mesh and surface between which you want to calculate the minimum and maximum deviation.
  2. Click the Show deviations tool at the bottom of the Modeling control panel.
  3. Turn the Min. and Max. options on or off in the Deviation section of the Modeling control panel.
