New Analysis Tools

Rhino 4.0

 

 


New tools for measuring geometry and evaluating model quality. New tools help recover data in case of a crash and to help us find any crash related bugs.

Geometry ( new, enhanced)

  • Advanced display - New tools for visualizing geometry topology including backfaces, holes, gaps, and open edges. The new display pipeline supports working in analysis and rendering modes by viewport or by object.

  • Area
    • Supports closed planar curves.
    • Allows a different units system from the default.
  • AreaCentroid - Supports closed planar curves.
  • AreaMoments - Supports closed planar curves.
  • BoundingBox - Reports the overall x, y, z dimensions of the bounding box.
  • CheckMesh - Displays problems with a mesh.
  • ClosestPt -  Supports mesh objects.
  • CutVolume - Reports the volume of the intersection of a closed object and a pre-existing box.
  • Distance - Allows a different units system from the default.
  • DraftAngleAnalysis - Supports mesh objects.
  • EMap - Supports mesh objects.
  • GCon - Two collinear lines and a line and a curve matched G2 to the line are reported as G2.
  • Length
    • Displays the total length of more than one curve.
    • Allows a different units system from the default.
  • PointDeviation - Modeless. The point deviation is updated as the surface or points change.
  • Thickness Analysis - Uses a false-color display to evaluate the thickness of a mesh.
  • Volume - Allows a different units system from the default.
  • ZoomNaked - Marks naked edges and cycles through them, zooming the next naked edge to the screen extents.
  • Zebra - Supports mesh objects.

File ( new, enhanced)

  • Audit3dmFile - Audits hatch patterns and linetypes and supports script mode options to audit user data.
  • Crash Report - Captures the 3DM file and a memory dump that can be sent to technical support.
  • Rescue3dmFile - Attempts to recover data from damaged Rhino files.
