Creates curves-on-surface along lines of constant curvature.
Choose the method of calculating curvature on the surface:
Mean – Average the two principal curvatures at each point on the surface.
Gaussian – Multiply the two principal curvatures at each point on the surface.
Principal Min/Principal Max – Use the minimum or maximum curvature values (that is, the curvature of the steepest or flattest curves that pass through each point).
Mean or Gaussian curvature is most useful for detecting surface irregularities. Principal Min or Max curvature is most useful for detecting inflection points.
Enter the curvature value for the iso-curvature lines you want to create.
The Curvature tool creates curves-on-surface along these lines of constant curvature.
The quality of the curve-on-surface projection, from 1 to 6. The higher the value, the more precise the result. Use low values for draft quality, use higher values for final results.
Update the curves-on-surface as you change the values in the Curvature window.
Save the history of the new curves-on-surface for later editing. If you turn Create History on, you can modify the surfaces and the curves-on-surface update.
When Auto Update is off, use this button to update the curves on surface to correspond to the current options.
Undo all the changes made by the tool and return to the original surface.
Finish creating curves-on-surface on the current surface and prompt for a new surface to evaluate.
