To open the Surface Curvature Combs PropertyManager, do one of the following:

  • Click View > Display > Surface Curvature Combs.
  • Click Surface Curvatures Combs (View toolbar).

Faces

When you select Persistent under Display, populate the Faces field by clicking the model faces where you want to view surface curvature combs.

Display

Persistent Allows you to select faces in the graphics area and displays surface curvature combs for those faces.
Dynamic Displays surface curvature combs at points you select dynamically in the graphics area.

Curvature Display

Options available in this section are controlled by the Display type selected.

Mesh preview Available when the Display type is Persistent.

Applies a preview mesh on the selected faces to better visualize the surfaces.
Mesh density Available when the Display type is Persistent and you select Mesh preview.

Adjusts the number of lines of the mesh.
Curvature combs Available when the Display type is Persistent.

Activates the displays curvature combs for the selected faces.
