Curvature display
Model curvature can be plotted onto the model face using colors, as shown in Figure 11.10.
The accuracy of this display leaves a bit to be desired, but it does help you identify areas of very
tight curvature on your part. Areas of tight curvature can cause features such as fillets and shells
to fail.
