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 |
Evaluates faces above the parting
line to determine if they are visible from above the parting line.
Evaluates faces below the parting line 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. |
