The continuity of curves is measured in G values, but this can be abstract to some users. The Curvature Graph tool gives a visual and interactive representation of the curves continuity.
- [Instructor] In this video,…we get extra nerdy and explore the curve analysis tool,…also called the curvature graph.…First, let's put this tool into context.…It's part of a whole suite of curve…and surface analysis tools…located primarily under the analysis or analyze toolbar.…Now we've previously discussed the command…geometric continuity or G-Con.…This is simply a visual method…of doing the same exact thing.…We'll start off by analyzing this very first demo curve…number one.…
This was built by several separate segments.…And joined here one end by a straight line.…Let's select it and go to the command…Analyze > Curve > Curvature Graph On.…Now you may not notice there is some visual display here…but it's white,…which is the same color as my background.…So you'd definitely want to go ahead…and pick a color right now so this thing pops out.…Let's try a kind of a lime green.…So the other thing you may look out for…is the display scale.…
A lot of times this will default to 100…which is really tight to the line and not very useful.…
