Isophotes Mapping Analysis Parameters

This section explains the parameters in the Isophotes Mapping Analysis command dialog box.

The Isophote Mapping Analysis dialog box contains the following commands and options:


  • Type Option area:
    • Mapping Modes:
      • Cylindrical Mode: displays a cylindrical mapping analysis.
      • Spherical Mode: displays a spherical mapping analysis. This option is selected by default.
      • Multiband Mode: displays a multi-band mapping analysis.
    • Analysis mapping on part: lets you analyze the whole part. Unselect this icon to conduct the analysis element by element.
    • Point of view:
      • View: lets you use the screen definition to define the analysis point of view. Stripes are recalculated each time you move the screen point of view. This option is selected by default.
      • Eye: lets you use the User Eye manipulator location to define the analysis point of view. Stripes are recalculated each time you move the User Eye.
    • Mapping Direction:
      • Point: defines the mapping analysis directions from the current analysis point of view.
      • Plane: defines the mapping analysis directions are normal to the plane representing the point of view. This option is not available with the Eye option.
    • Light effect: displays the light effect on selected elements. This option is not selected by default.
    • No Highlight Representations: disables the application highlight on selected elements.
  • Zebra parameters area:
    • < > Number of stripes: sets the number of stripes.
    • < > Width of stripes: sets the width of stripes.
    • < > Color transition: sets the width of the color transition zone.
    • Compass: flips the compass to the model and lets you move the compass in the 3D geometry to define the orientation, and displays the 3D manipulator (cylinder or sphere) according to the selected mode. Note that Multiband Mode has no 3D manipulator. This option is not selected by default.
    • Hide: hides the 3D manipulator (cylinder or sphere) displayed by the Compass option. This option is not selected by default.
    • Radius: defines the cylinder or sphere radius, by default 1000mm.
