titleTube Length

Measures the length of a tube between first and last radii selections—generates the total centerline length.

Expand
titleMinimum Distance...

Measures the shortest distance between two sets of points or surfaces.

Expand
titleMinimum Thickness...

Calculates the minimum thickness of a set of points or surfaces.

Expand
titleMinimum Distance Between Edges

Measures the shortest distance between two edges on the model.

Expand
titleMinimum Distance Between Two Surfaces

Measures the shortest distance between two surfaces.

Expand
titleMinimum Distance From Arc Center to Surface

Measures the shortest distance from a selected arc center point to a surface.

titleBoundary Center by Edges

Determines the center point of a boundary defined by connected edges. SpinFire Ultimate will automatically find the connected edges that form the boundary and then determine the center point.

You may need to click more than one edge for SpinFire Ultimate to be able to determine the boundary center. For example, if you click an edge on a cube, SpinFire Ultimate will not know which square boundary you want to define. When you click a second edge, SpinFire Ultimate will then be able to calculate the boundary and determine the center point.

Expand
titleBoundary Area by Edges

Calculates the area of a boundary defined by connected edges. SpinFire Ultimate will automatically find the connected edges that form the boundary and then determine the boundary area.

You may need to click more than one edge for SpinFire Ultimate to be able to determine the boundary area. For example, if you click an edge on a cube, SpinFire Ultimate will not know which square boundary you want to define. When you click a second edge, SpinFire Ultimate will then be able to calculate the boundary and determine the area.

This command can also be used to determine the area of a void. The accuracy of the measurement depends on the degree of tessellation specified by the importer settings (greater tessellation means greater accuracy and longer processing time).

titleDistance Between Two Boundary Volume by Surfaces

Measures the distance between two flat parallel surfaces.

If you select a second surface that is not flat and parallel to the first pick, an error message will appear.

The attachment point on the first selected surface is projected onto the second surfaceCalculates the volume of a space defined by connected surfaces. You may need to click more than one surface for SpinFire Ultimate to be able to determine volume.
