Description of the "Evaluation" View
H Status bar: Status and error messages are displayed in the status bar (see Chapter 8.1).
1 Angle type: Select the type of angle to be calculated:
-
Angle between two planes: The value range for the angle is 0 to 180 degrees.
-
Angle between plane and straight line: The value range for the angle is 0 to 90 degrees.
-
Angle between two lines: The value range for the angle is 0 to 90 degrees.
The following lists the measuring programs available for the respective input objects:
-
Plane:

Plane: The relevant plane is used for the angle calculation. The following measuring pro-
gram produces a plane:
 "Plane Fit" measuring program (see Chap. 6.1.3)
-
Straight line:

Straight line: The relevant straight line is used for the angle calculation. The following
measuring programs produce straight lines:
 "Object Intersection" measuring program (see Chap. 6.2.3)
 "Edge" measuring program (see Chap. 6.1.9)

Cylinder: The longitudinal axis of the cylinder is used for the angle calculation. The fol-
lowing measuring program produces a cylinder:
 "Cylinder Fit" measuring program (see Chap. 6.1.5)
2 Input data: Use this selection field to select the input objects for the program (see also Chap.
3.16.3). The list of available objects varies depending on the type of angle.
3 Use adjacent angle: Specify whether the adjacent angle should be used as the measurement re-
sult.
4 3D-View: The 3D-View displays the input objects and the angle between the objects as an orange
arc.
