Associate Face Analysis Slope to vector
Associate Face Analysis Slope to vector
(OP)
Hello,
Is there a way to associate the Face Analysis - Slope to a vector or lets say the current z-axis?
This way, when I rotate the vector or the current wcs, the analysis update right away.

RE: Associate Face Analysis Slope to vector
I don't know of anything in NX that gets associated to the WCS, and while there are many ways to specify a vector in face analysis, the analysis is not associated to the vector you pick. There is an interesting option in face analysis, you can specify a vector by expression (at least it is there in NX6). However, even when the expression changes, the analysis doesn't automatically update.

I am currently designing a window garnish and I have to rotate the wcs, then go to face analysis slope then update the vector to current z-axis to see the result.

Below is a video showing how this works (note that while the video was taken during an NX 6.0 session, it works virtually the same in NX 5.0).
