Global Edge Continuity
GlobalEdgeContinuity offers a concise overview of your model’s surface continuity with both visual and numerical feedback. You can easily detect surface edges that need attention. Edit and verify until your edges meet in G0, G1 or G2 accurately. (clip 1)
Interactive User Interface
A dialog coupled with in-viewport tools for visual feedback (clip 2):
- Sort edges based on deviation
- Zoom in to specific edges
Limitations of Existing Tools:
GEC is a complete analysis tool for surface continuity. Models are composed of multiple surfaces. These surfaces must meet within a certain tolerance and at a specific angle, to define their accuracy and shape. The existing EdgeConinuity command can only handle 2 edges at a time. With GEC:
- Analyse more than 2 pairs.
- Analyze a single edge against multiple ones.
