Enter the minimum curvature value. When the surface curvature reaches this value, it displays as blue. (VSACURVATURELOW system variable)
Auto Range: Calculates the curvature range so that 80% of the values are within the high and low range. (VSACURVATUREHIGH and VSACURVATURELOW system variables)
Max Range: Calculates the maximum and minimum ranges of all objects selected for curvature analysis. (VSACURVATUREHIGH and VSACURVATURELOW system variables)
