Explicit Control - Permits the user to rebuild surface and curve information from the Direct Modeling Panel. Degree and span count can be manipulated while viewing any error from the original object. Accept or cancel keeps the user in control of the process. Display Features - Direct access to repetitive tasks such as viewing curvature, cross sections, isoparametric lines and control meshes are all available within the Direct Modeling Panel. Align Hull - Moves Control Ver tices to planer positions creating smooth control hull forms.
Incremental movements permit for micro movements either with the mouse or arrow keys.
Minimums and maximums can be specified to focus on problem areas. Used in conjunction with CV and Hull Movement and surfaces can be tuned to the data while highlights are reviewed for aesthetic quality. Cross Section - Creates cross sections from X, Y, Z orientations and arbitrary planar orientations or allows the use of background data for irregular section detail. Curvature Control - Controls the Scale, Density and Sampling of curvature display on curves, curves on surface, and surfaces. Deviation Table - This information window gives X, Y, Z coordinates, positional, tangential and curvature errors.
