There are two different types of flagging methods which are outlined in the table below.
Type | Description |
|---|---|
Boolean | The software looks at a solid and determines how much, if any, sits above and below the surface. Users can select a database field that will store the result, as well as the result value. A threshold value is used to help resolve cases where a solid sits both above and below a surface. |
Percentage | The software looks at a solid and determines the percentage sitting above the surface. Users can select the database field which will store the result. |
If you wish to flag a solid based on its position relative to the surface by a “True” or “False” primitive, select the "Boolean Surface" option from the dropdown of the Add Item button.
