KeyCreator verification tools

The comprehensive verification capabilities of KeyCreator include:

• Measure actual and projected distances between selected entities and positions.
• Verify area, centroid and perimeter of selected closed chain of curves.
• Verify entity type, attributes and level of selected entities.
• Verify diameter/radius of circular entities.
• Verify length of linear entities.
• Verify radius of curvature at select locations along a spline.
• Optionally store Verify data results as user defined variables.
• Automated removal of overlapping entities.
• Simple viewing and reversing of entity direction.

• Report volume, surface area, center of gravity and moments of solids.
• Create a point at the center of gravity of solids.
• Display diameters and depths of standard hole types (drill, cbore, etc.).
• Verify diameter/radius of circular edges.
• Verify length of linear edges.
• Check solid/surface(s) for common import problems and errors (sliver faces, face-face intersections, short edges, free edges, non-manifold edges/vertices), highlight problem areas and/or automate clean up.
• Display surface normal and U and V directions of selected face or surface.
• Display curvature extremes via gradient shading of face/surface.
• Measure deviations between a surface and select curves, edges and points.
• Place points, vectors (normal, tangent and cross) and flowlines at selected locations on a surface or face.
• Create a plane entity tangent to a surface or face at a selected location.
• Generate polygon entities from facets.
• Generate silhouette curves along the outside edge of a solid/surface as projected along a selected vector.
