XS_NEIGHBOUR_PART_SKEW_LIMIT
Category in Advanced options dialog: Drawing properties
Tekla Structures considers neighbor parts as
skewed if the dot product between the part axis vector and one of the coordinate
axis vectors is less than 1-XS_NEIGHBOUR_PART_SKEW_LIMIT. Use this advanced option to define the
limit. Enter the limit as a floating value, for example, 0.1 (default).
The dot product measures the cosine of the angle between two vectors, which can be used to determine how aligned they are. When the cosine of the angle between the parts is 0, the parts are perpendicular to each other, and when the cosine is 1, they are parallel.
This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database.
