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

  1. Select a single mesh object.
  2. 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.
  3. A curvature object is created.

Properties

These are the properties available in the Property editor. Hidden properties can be shown by selecting the Show all option in the Property editor context menu.

Data

Base

  • DataLabel (String): a user editable name for the object, an arbitrary UTF8 string.
  • DataSource (Link): a link to the mesh object.

Hidden properties Data

Base

  • DataExpression Engine (ExpressionEngine): a list of expressions.
  • DataLabel2 (String): a user editable description for the object, an arbitrary UTF8 string that may include newlines.
  • DataVisibility (Bool): if set to true the object appears in the 3D view.

View

Base
