Solid Body |
(For multibody parts only.) Select the body to analyze. |
| |
Direction of Pull |
(Not required if you select a Parting Line below.) Select a planar face, a linear edge, or an axis to define the draw direction, or select Coordinate input and set conditions along the X, Y, and Z axes. Click Reverse Direction
 or click the handle in the graphics area to reverse the direction of pull, which reverses how faces are reported (as Direction1 or Direction2) in the results. |
 |
Parting Line |
Faces above the parting line are evaluated to determine if they are visible from above the parting line. Faces below the parting line are evaluated to determine if they are visible from below the parting line. This identifies depressions in the wall of the part that require a side core, and also helps you to identify sections of the parting line that you can modify to avoid the need for side cores. |
| |
Adjustment triad |
Manipulates the direction of pull to help you visualize ways to avoid or minimize problems with undercut regions. When you drag the rings of the triad in the graphics area, the direction of pull changes, face colors update dynamically, and the following read-only values appear in the PropertyManager:
-
Angle with X axis
- Angle with Y axis
- Angle with Z axis

Highlight occluded regions |
For faces that are only partially occluded, the analysis identifies those regions of the face that are occluded and those that are not. With this option cleared, the analysis identifies the entire face as being occluded. |
