Hi all,
I’m super new to Rhino and I hope this question isn’t too stupid.
I’m wondering how to measure the distance between a curve and a surface.
And where do I find the locators for G0 G1 and G2 continuity (or better how are they called in Rhino)?
I think my biggest problem is that I don’t know what term I gotta search for. Is there some document where Alias terms are “translated” into Rhino terms?
Thanks
Joerg
Hi Jeorg - there is not a built in way - I made a tool for this, which is maybe helpful but currently limited to a single curve-surface pair. See if it helps, I could be persuaded to fuss with this a bit more to make it more user-friendly and more useful. Run the thing a second time to shut it off. The display options currently only show if you start the tool with no curve pre-selected.

You’ll need to unblock the plug-in in Windows and then drag and drop onto a Rhino window.

Thanks a lot Pascal! I’ll give it a try later on today
