In order to do decent surfacing, there needs to be a way to show curvature combs, etc.

Combs is my number 1 choice.

Jeff Kunkler

REALLY need the combs!

Dennis Sedov

Absolutely agree! This is an important missing element. I have to bring surfaces into Alias to fix curvature problems, as I simply can't see the comb.

I would add draft analysis to this as well. Plastic parts will need to be eventually tooled and need to get the right draft for that.

L: I definitely need/want draft analysis, but I would group that under surface analysis, not curve analysis.

This morning in blendermarket newsletter I found this addon maybe it can be a cue to develop the feature also in plasticity

Yes, especially now that we have a blend curve tool, it is really difficult to gauge the quality of the blend without curvature combs
