Contour Part(s) to Part(s)

Contour Part(s) to Part(s)

Select 2 parts to start the normal measure. You will be offered the option to contour min distance node to segment.

Selecting this will give contoured measure across the parts. The closest distance reported by standard measure will be the lowest contour.

Additional options are

die closure option   - in this case we only plot values where the node projects to segment within the max allowable parametric (default +/-1.0)

subtract shell thickness - the shell thickness at each end is subtracted from the measure

Additional parts can be added to each side

the contour plot will automatically update to include them. If either of the two main parts are changed contour mode will be de-activated.
