Analyzing surface continuity - Rhino Tutorial

Analyzing surface continuity
- [Instructor] In this video, we'll take a look at a rhino command that helps us to look at the continuity between surfaces. And that's called the zebra command. Now to help us out here, I've got the exercise file surface-continuity.3dm open. And you can see we've got three pairs of surfaces that will measure to look at their continuity. So under the analyze menu, let's go to the surface subset and activate the zebra command. So I'm being prompted to select objects for zebra stripe analysis. I'll do a crossing selection on all these surfaces and click Done. So now you can see I'm getting this pattern overlaid on my surfaces. And let's zoom in a little bit here and we can maybe see what's going on somewhat more clearly. So in a nutshell, what rhino is doing here is using these striped patterns on our surfaces to give us clues about what's going on with the continuity. And we've got some options here where we can…
