ATH Dimensions > Dihedral angle by object selection
Command input:
ath_planang
Using this command you can dimension the angle between two surfaces in space.
You can define the area by object selection. Admissible objects are lines, infills and bars.
Input request
Select object: or [?]:
Select a line, bar or infill.
With the option ? you call the help.
Select second object or [?]:
Select another object to determine the dihedral angle between the objects. The second object must be identical to the first object.
Specify position of the dimension line:
The dihedral angle is displayed. Specify the position of the dimension line.
If the object first selected is a bar with a dihedral angle (e.g. the analyzed axis of a fillet or fin), the second input request appears like this:
Select second object or [Dihedral angle/?] <Dihedral angle>:
You can now choose another object or directly dimension the dihedral angle of the bar by pressing the enter key.
Restriction: It is not possible to dimension the dihedral angle between an infill and a line object (bar or line). Therefore, if you select an infill as the first object, the second object must also be an infill.
