Measure the continuity of surface edges by evaluating whether the connection is G0, G1, or G2 (G3 is not supported).
Basic Usage
- Select two adjacent and touching surface edges.
- Type "Measure Continuity" in the Command Palette.
- Set the options in the Command Dialog.

- Continuity: Verifies the type of edge continuity:
- G0: Checks for position continuity. Measures the positional deviation in metric units based on your current unit settings in Plasticity.
- G1: Checks for tangency continuity. Measures the angular deviation in degrees between adjacent surfaces.
- G2: Checks for curvature continuity by comparing curvature values between adjacent surfaces.
- G0 Scale / G1 Scale / G2 Scale:
- Adjusts visual size of combs and deviation plot.
- G0 Tolerance/ G1 Tolerance/ G2 Tolerance:
- Adjusts the numerical threshold for deviation detection.
