Feature Markers

Feature markers appear on 3D models for features that have coordinate data. Some features have unique markers to identify the type of feature. If the Feature Marker Settings are not set to use feature specific markers or if the feature type does not have a unique marker, feature markers appear as a sphere.

Feature Marker by Type

Many of the types of Features has a unique 3D marker assigned. Hover over an image below to identify which feature type it represents:

Surface Point A point on a model with XYZ and IJK characteristics to define its 3D coordinates.	Hole An opening with a measured diameter (or radius).	Slot An opening with a measured width and length.
Flush A measurement of the parallelism of two surfaces or edges.	Gap A measurement of the perpendicularity between two surfaces or edges.	Distance The calculated distance between two reference points.
Midpoint The calculated middle point or mean value between two reference points.	Range A series of two or more points in sequence representing the values of the reference feature points.	Plane A plane area constructed from three reference points. The three reference feature points make up the vertices of the plane marker.
XYZ A point with XYZ but no IJK (vector) data.	Sphere There is no unique marker assigned for Non, User Polar or Reference feature types, so these use a generic sphere marker; also used in Views with the Marker Mode set to Sphere.

Feature Marker Colors

The color of the Feature marker indicates the state of the data for the Active Sample.

Marker	Color	Description	Meaning
	Red	Bad Results	Beyond Limits (Out of Tolerance)
	Green	Good Results	Within, or equal to, Limits (In Tolerance)
	Gray	Neutral or Nominal	No Results data associated to the Nominal Feature
