Surface profile - evaluating only one direction

[[Ma...]]

Hi team , 

it´s possible to evaluated surface profile only for one direction ?

What you mean by one direction?

Like in Calypso which will report maximum only for outer or inner?

That can be achieved by using normal surface profile and pinning maximum / minimum from all selected points of profile result.

Surface profile evaluated along only one axis for example for only for X.

I think its overline task. So i need another opinion.

I solved this way.

I saw evaluation in one axis, but that was in Calypso and only for curves - not for FF.

I ended up with equidistant points and reporting their deviation in on axis. But i can not figure out what meaning will that number have for me.

Yep , its killstrike from designer. 

I think that the designer confused position with surface profile. 

Thanks for the feedback.

In my opinion, the idea of evaluating a surface profile in only one direction is contradictory in itself. It's like if you say "I want to calculate a line, but I have only one point"

If you recall the definition of a surface profile, the tolerance zone is derived from placing an infinite number of virtual spheres with their center point on the nominal surface and their diameter being the tolerance width. The actual zone are two tangential surfaces touching the spheres from both sides. How could this be calculated in only one direction? The only way would be to use a line profile instead.

Hello  , 

 

I change my mind. 🫢🫣

What do you think , is it right ?

1. construct 3 planes from point + normal plane from datum system , X+Y+Z

2. evaluated separately for axis for X+Y+Z + together .

 

 

[[No...]]

That changes only the datum system, not really the evaluation direction.

I won´t change datum system , its the same ,  i used direction of axis X,Y,Z separately by plane from Datum system. 

Isn´t that true?
