Surface to Surface Deviation Tool:
Favorite measurement tool in Alias while freeform sculpting. Shows the closest distance between two objects as well as the furthest. My team uses these tools constantly when sculpting with incomplete engineering data ensuring we maintain proper air gaps between parts and protect for material thickness.
Example:
Fabric and Foam should be no less than 15 mm thick or a maximum of 40mm thick
Other measurements which should migrate to Fusion should include:
Curve to Curve
Curve to Surface
Surface to Surface
Mesh to Surface
Scan to Surface
Plane to Object
Please also allow the ability to have multiple measurements up on screen at a time. While in sculpt mode, I will take a measurement of one area, then take another measurement. When doing this, the first measurement disappears.
I currently use Alias for engineering concept work.
