From the Method list, select the measurement method type Ray based or Sphere. For details on these measurement methods, see "Thickness Colormap Method".
Type the value for Max Thickness. The software does not evaluate any data value greater than the Max Thickness value.
Type a Max Angle value. The software returns the relevant points whose estimated normals are within the specified angle of the CAD normals.
To create a thickness colormap of a Mesh data object in comparison to a CAD model, select the Compare to CAD check box. For details, see the "Compare to CAD Mesh Thickness Colormap" topic in this documentation.
