Easily finding incorrect
surface normal direction using the Backface Color attribute |
RhinoMarine performs hydrostatics calculations using the surface
analysis mesh, rather than the traditional approach of stations.
Surfaces in Rhino have an "inside" and "outside", and the outside
must be in contact with the water, or RhinoMarine will consider the
volume of that surface to be negative. Using the Backface Color
attribute, it is easy to determine whether the direction is correct
for all of the surfaces in the model. |
