Tube Length
Measures the length of a tube between first and last radii selections—generates the total centerline length.
Minimum Distance…
Measures the shortest distance between two sets of points or surfaces.
Minimum Thickness…
Calculates the minimum thickness of a set of points or surfaces.
Minimum Distance Between Edges
Measures the shortest distance between two edges on the model.
Minimum Distance Between Two Surfaces
Measures the shortest distance between two surfaces.
Minimum Distance From Arc Center to Surface
Measures the shortest distance from a selected arc center point to a surface.
Boundary Center by Edges
Determines the center point of a boundary defined by connected edges. SpinFire Ultimate will automatically find the connected edges that form the boundary and then determine the center point.
You may need to click more than one edge for SpinFire Ultimate to be able to determine the boundary center. For example, if you click an edge on a cube, SpinFire Ultimate will not know which square boundary you want to define. When you click a second edge, SpinFire Ultimate will then be able to calculate the boundary and determine the center point.
Boundary Area by Edges
Calculates the area of a boundary defined by connected edges. SpinFire Ultimate will automatically find the connected edges that form the boundary and then determine the boundary area.
You may need to click more than one edge for SpinFire Ultimate to be able to determine the boundary area. For example, if you click an edge on a cube, SpinFire Ultimate will not know which square boundary you want to define. When you click a second edge, SpinFire Ultimate will then be able to calculate the boundary and determine the area.
Note
This command can also be used to determine the area of a void. The accuracy of the measurement depends on the degree of tessellation specified by the importer settings (greater tessellation means greater accuracy and longer processing time).
Boundary Volume by Surfaces
Calculates the volume of a space defined by connected surfaces. You may need to click more than one surface for SpinFire Ultimate to be able to determine volume.
Note
This command can also be used to determine the volume of a void. The accuracy of the measurement depends on the degree of tessellation specified by the importer settings (greater tessellation means greater accuracy and longer processing time).
