Bodies to Compare

	Dynamic Help	Displays detailed help when you hover over the controls.
	Source Bodies	Specifies the source bodies from a scan, a mesh file, or a CAD model. Bodies can be any type: classic BREP bodies, mesh BREP bodies, or graphics bodies. Classic BREP and mesh BREP can be solid or surface bodies. Specify the display of the source bodies: Current View Hidden Display Transparent Display Wireframe Display

Color Settings

	Legend Threshold	Specifies the absolute value of deviation allowed by the scale. Move the slider to change the distances.
	Show Legend on Screen	Displays the legend after closing the Body Compare PropertyManager.
	Accuracy	Improves the accuracy of the body compare. Higher accuracy might impact performance. This slider is disabled when the compare bodies are graphics mesh bodies.
	Unmatched color	Identifies areas on the compare bodies that do not match the source bodies. For example, you compare bodies where the compare body is not a complete reproduction of the source body. The unmatched color appears in areas where there is no corresponding geometry on the source bodies. Either the geometry is missing or is too far away. Click Edit Color to select a color.

After you create a body compare analysis, the analysis remains on display in the graphics area. To close the analysis, right-click in the graphics area and click Body Compare . To modify the analysis options, right-click in the graphics area and click Body Compare Properties.
