Thickness Tool Options
The following options are available:
| Minimum thickness | Enter a value in model units. Any areas that have a thickness Less Than the minimum thickness will be detected and highlighted. |
| Sample spacing | Controls the maximum distance between sample points. Smaller values will create more samples and better visualization, but will also increase the computation time of the tool. |
