Iso-angle projects onto the surfaces from a certain angle, and creates shaded bands and/or lines where the surface is at right angles to the projection direction.
Create iso-angle display shading/lines
- Pick the surfaces and click the Iso Angle diagnostic shader
in the Diagnostic Shade window. - From the Map Type drop-down menu, choose whether to shade with a single band, double, multiple, or rainbow bands.
- Adjust the number, blur and transparency of the shaded bands.
- Under Curve Control, choose whether to display iso-angle lines as actual curves-on-surface (CoS) geometry or display only (Visual) curves-on-surface and click Create.
To remove the shading and view the curves only, select Show Curves Only.
- Use the manipulator to set the direction of projection.
If the manipulator is not visible, click the Show Manip button.
Tip:It is often helpful to use multiple bands as you position the manipulator to give you more feedback, then switch to fewer or a single band.
