Description
The Mesh VertexCurvature command creates a curvature object for a selected mesh object. A curvature object displays the curvature of a mesh using different colors for the convex, flat and concave parts.
Usage
- Select a single mesh object.
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the Mesh VertexCurvature button.
- Select the Meshes → Curvature plot option from the menu.
- Select the Curvature plot option from the Tree view context menu or 3D view context menu.
- A curvature object is created.
Properties
Select the Show all option from the Property editor context menu to display the hidden properties.
