The
Segmentation Settings
dialog enables you to control common segmentation settings for manual and automatic segmentation operations.
To change the settings for manual and automatic segmentation operations:
- Click the
Segmentation settings
button on the
Segment Mesh dialog. The
Segmentation Settings dialog is displayed.
- Use the General tab to:
- Use the
Fit Method tab to:
- Edit the
Surface alignment angle
to define the tolerance for aligning primitive surfaces with a principal plane.
- Edit the
Surface extension distance
to define the distance by which a primitive surface is extended beyond the edge of its region.
Note: This is applied to all surfaces in the model, in contrast to the
Edit Extension dialog which requires a selection of surfaces.
- Select the
Trim surfaces option to create trimmed surfaces when segmenting.
- Repeat for
Solid alignment angle and
Solid extension distance as required.
Note: These options are also found in File > Options > Application Options > Object > Mesh and can now be changed independently for surfaces and solids.
- To use the
Shrink-wrap tab:
- Click the
Manually segment mesh
button to display the options:
- Click and drag the
U-direction patches
slider, or enter an exact value, to define the number of U direction control points used to generate the surface curves in 2D space.
- Click and drag the
V-direction patches
slider, or enter an exact value, to define the number of V direction control points used to generate the surface curves in 2D space.
- Click
to edit the number of control points in both directions equally.
- Click and drag the
Angle slider to manually orientate the shrink-wrap surface.
Note: These options are the same as those on the
Shrink-wrap mesh dialog, accessed using the Manage tab > Create panel > Shrink-wrap option.
Note: The
Segmentation settings
button is common to the
Automatic and
Manual segmentation
options.
