Tilt analysis with the triad of alignment finds the mold opening direction

Do you know, that… ?

Perhaps you have encountered such a situation, where, having a detail, you need to find the direction of opening the mold. I deal with it most often, when restoring scanned items, where the divisions are not always clearly visible.

After parametric reconstruction of the shape, I apply tilts. And here is where the problem sometimes arises, because it is not known to what reference the inclination should be inserted.

I turn on Tilt analysis and indicates the most likely direction. However, if the walls are not green / red (depending on what we take as positive direction), it can be turned on The triad of adaptation and move dynamically behind the rings defining the angle in the specified plane. In this way, the expected mold opening direction can be found.
