Result

• Surface >> Analyze >> Check Continuity >> Position gives the result as below.

• The color map shows the gap between two surfaces at both side of selected edges.

• Surface >> Analyze >> Check Continuity >> Tangency gives the result as below.

• The color map shows the tangency between two surfaces at both side of selected edges.

• n general, the G1 continuity is satisfied if the number of its bar is less than 1.

• In color map, Green and yellow arrows show the normal directions of two surfaces on which boundary they meet.

• If you move the mouse over the color map, deviation value is shown in real-time.

• If you click the right mouse button on the color bar window, you can select the Continuous, Discrete, Vertical, Horizontal by one's purpose.

• You can customize the color bar by View  >> Customize Color Bar or pop-up menu by right click on digits in color bar

• To improve continuity, execute surface match several times. (See Surface  >> Tool  >> Match ) or modify curve network
