hotSpot in Object mode
To display the radius hotSpots while in Object mode.
Modeling Tool panel. Switch the Show check box on.
Tolerance
To modify the tolerance value. The higher the value, the bigger
the difference between the attached surfaces.
Modeling Tool panel. Set the value either by moving the slider
or by typing it in the data field and pressing Enter .
Sew tolerance
The maximum gap that can exist between two attached surfaces
to consider them coincident along the edge. You can round an
edge that is common to two surfaces. However, sometimes the
gap between the two surfaces is too large and the Round tool
will not recognize them as attached. Instead, it views them as
two different edges. You can improve the geometry to correct
the gap, or you can increase the Sew tolerance to make the gap
smaller.
If an edge can be rounded, it will change color when you apply
the Round tool. If the edge you want to round does not change
color when you apply the Round tool, you can increase the Sew
tolerance, at which point the edge will change color and the
tool can be applied.
Modeling Tool panel. Set the value either by moving the slider
or by typing it in the data field and pressing Enter .
Arc tolerance
To set the fillet section tolerance. Higher values reduce arc
precision and number of points for the fillet surface sections. To
obtain a precise circular arc set this value to 0.
Modeling Tool panel. Set the value either by moving the slider
or by typing it in the data field and pressing Enter .
