Checking continuity between two points on two surfaces

After starting the Check Continuity command proceed as follows:

• In the Type drop-down list select Point on surface - Point on surface.
• Click on the point on the first surface and then on the one on the second surface:
  
  
  
  

  A handle is displayed on both of them:

  

  Drag the handles to the desired positions (or type the proper values into the U and/or V mini-dialog boxes)

  

The program immediately displays the following data concerning the two surfaces along the selected borders:

• The distance between the two points
• The angle between the tangent planes to the surfaces in the selected points
• The percentage value of the maximum curvature difference
• The percentage value of the minimum curvature difference at the point of maximum curvature difference.
