what is "show subdivide mesh" in measure thickness menu?

Hello @Grantim!!

Could you kindly clarify the measure thickness menu's "show subdivide mesh" option?
Is the mesh being subdivided?
If so, what are the subdivide settings that are utilized by default?

Thanks

Hello!

Thickness is measured and displayed per vertices. So if mesh has large faces with small number of vertices it could be useful to subdivide mesh, to have more samples. Subdivision is applied only for visualization, actual object does not change.

Subdivide is called with following parameters:

            .maxEdgeLen = mesh.getBoundingBox().diagonal() * 1e-3f,
            .maxEdgeSplits = std::max( 1000, mesh.topology.numValidVerts() ),
            .maxDeviationAfterFlip = 0.0f,
