Evaluating surfaces
Alias offers very powerful visual aid tools to evaluate surface quality or surface continuity
that can be used while in the modeling tools (for example, while in a tool such as Rail,
Continuity Check can be toggled on/off).

Continuity)
Checks the positional, tangent plane,
and curvature continuity between and
inside surfaces.
If the tool is set to curvature:curvature
continuous edges are displayed in
green with a C symbol;
noncurvature continuous but tangent
continuous edges display in red with
a C symbol,
non-tangent continuous but position
continuous edges display in red with
a T symbol,
and non-positional continuous edges
display in red with a P symbol.
Surface Continuity Evaluation
The different tools for visual
evaluation are conveniently
placed in the Control Panel
or Object Display >
Diagnostic Shading. The
options for the selected tool
are displayed below the
tools by expanding the
white arrow. The quality of
the shading can be rened
via the tolerance parameter.
