Mesh VertexCurvature
Description
The Mesh VertexCurvature command creates Mesh Curvature objects for mesh objects. A curvature object displays the curvature of a mesh using different colors for the convex, flat and concave parts.
Example of a Mesh Curvature object
Usage
- Select one or more mesh objects.
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the
Curvature plot 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.
- Press the
Properties
For a Mesh Curvature object the following properties are available in the Property editor. Select the Show all option from the Property editor context menu to display the hidden properties.
