Measuring Wall Thickness

Recommended Posts

Hey Folks, need a little assistants on how I could measure this wall thickness. We have a wall thickness of .08-.12"
I just recently took the curve class in Maple Grove and was thinking about sectioning and creating 3d curves and using curve distance but that wouldn't work since the curves are not on the normal plane. I know we could use the distance check but we are probably going to have 50-100 polar caliper distance characteristics if we do that.
Any recommendations are appreciated.

Model: Yes
Curve: Yes
Freeform: No
PCM: No

You can limit the number of distances by masking all of them, then creating a Max Result, Min Result and Avg Result (Under Size > More). To Mask, select all distances, right-click, select Masked.

UPDATE! I just noticed 2nd picture. I would segregate all of the outer points and inner points. Then, assign unique sub-clearance planes to each group. And run from features list.

I know this was a very broad suggestion which may not make sense for your application, especially since my view is somewhat limited.
