About this Block
What it does: Measures the thickness of a Mesh and creates a Scalar Field of the values. Mesh thickness is defined as twice the distance from a point on the Mesh’s medial axis to its surface. This block only supports objects with medial axes. Spheres and other objects with degenerate meidal axes are not supported.
Common uses:
- Evaluating a model’s local feature size or wall thickness.
TipsCreate a Point Map from the field to help evaluate the approximate wall thickness of your mesh.

Measures the thickness of a Mesh and creates a Scalar Field of the values. The thickness of a Mesh is defined as twice the distance from a point on its medial axis to the surface. Only Meshes with non-degenerate medial axes are supported. Meshes with a degenerate medial axis, such as a sphere, may give unexpected results.
