Creates theoretical intersection curves on a mesh that can later be used for surface development.
Can also create feature curves approximations.
Mesh Extract Theoretical Intersection Control
Turn on this option to calculate the theoretical intersection curve.
If using the curve method, this option must be on, as this is the only curve calculated.
See To extract a theoretical curve from a mesh (curve method).
Turn on this option to create the approximation feature curve. It is visible as a degree 1 curve when you exit the tool.
This only applies when using the points method.
See To extract a theoretical curve and feature curve approximation from a mesh (point method).
Turn on this option (default) to shade the mesh with Curvature Diagnostic Shading when it is selected.
Radius of the tube that defines the region where the curve(s) are built.
Tangent lines are displayed at the intersection of the tube with the mesh after the theoretical intersection curve is first calculated.
This value multiplies the Tangent line distance to specify the maximum distance from the outside of the tube that is included in the calculations.
Ensure that this distance covers mostly flat regions, and does not include other sharp features.
