Distance between surfaces

Is there any possibility to check and/or show distance between two surfaces?

    Yes, create a Distance Function (Numeric Models > new distance Function) for one of the surfaces then evaluate the other surface against it (right click object name > Evaluations). You can then colour by distance, look at distance statistics etc.

  • Great, that's exactly what i looked for! :)
    Thanks <3

  • Eh…
    I checked this method and i've got really strange values.

    Model gave me 43.71 m but i see with a ruler thats should be around 8 m…

    To be honest, I would export the points from the one surface and the points from the other and just run a quick analysis with AI or something. There would be setups in LF, and I did do it in the past, when building thickness models, if you wanted to do that , yes, I would need to dip and provide you with the workflow.

    Another trick you can maybe do is get the points ( top and bottom) and create a quick Vein, the vein has a thickness option

    extract the vein vertices and then say add evluation, gives you the thickness points

  • Yeah, i extracted vertices and evaluated then according to surface. That works much better.
    Your trick with vein also is quite interesting. Thanks for this! :)
