My favourite part of the VSR plug-in for Rhino 5 was the extremely good coloured stripes of the “Light lines analysis” that it introduced. The rainbow colours did a better job than the similar analysis tool in Alias that has a red, black and white stripes.
I hope that Rhino 7 will offer a similar analysis tool with static light lines, with the following settings:
-
Direction of the stripes (custom angle and X, Y, Z, XY, XZ and YZ vectors).
-
Custom colours.
-
Custom number of colours.
-
Control over the self-illumination between 0% and 100%.
-
Density of the stripes (thinner, thin, normal, thick, thicker).
The static light lines vastly improve the workflow and help to immediately spot any imperfection in surface flow that eventually may compromise the design of a product.
