I’ve been working on a global edge continuity tool lately and am looking for people that want to try it out and give me feedback for improvement. If you’re interested, please send me a pm. Sending a pm will not be a guarantee that you are sent the tool for evaluation, I will do this based on your gi…

Ok, I figured it out. The window had disappeared behind the main window. I found it now.

Which is more accurate? “EdgeContinuity” or “GlobalEdgeContinuity”? I often see some huge differences in reported deviation when I try both tools on the same pair of edges. Today I one pair of edges had about 0,052 mm deviation reported by “GlobalEdgeContinuity”, but “EdgeContinuity” reported it as…

@Rhino_Bulgaria hard to say without seeing the file. I would expect distance deviations to be equal in both tools. If you ever see a wrong answer from either it would be great if you could send that file.

Sure, I will notify you as soon as I see another case where both tools report too different results of the same pair of edges.

Here is another case where the reported value by both edge continuity tools differs quite a lot, especially the distance value. Test this with Edge continuity.3dm (112.8 KB)

no wonder, in the EdgeContinuity, you are using only 10 samples, in GlobalEdgeContinuity you are using 100 samples. If you set GlobalEdgeContinuity to 10, you get the exact same result, Similarly, if you set EdgeContinuity to 100 samples, you get the exact same result, e.g.: [image] @Rhino_Bulga…

Thanks for the tip. However, I still see differences even when I make both settings equal. In your picture, the reported deviation is shown is 0,0028 mm, whereas the real deviation is greater at 0,0028446 mm. This gives the user a false sense that the gap between the surfaces is smaller than the act…

The difference you see is purely rounding. If you care about that small of a difference you should not use these tools, since they only sample a limited amount of places. I have to look up how CrvDeviation calculates it, but that will give you a more exact result. I wonder why you care about someth…

I thought this sounded at first a bit silly as well. However even in my short time in CNC, it was becoming more popular to produce parts with ludicrous 2- or even 1-micron tolerances, by chucking them into magical grinders. Actually, I think for example companies like TAIYO KOKI offer grinding mac…
