Click the Show/Material menu item or toolbar icon to display surface normals
that are outside the material and normal to the material surfaces.
The material indicator lines are used by the system to identify
the material sides of nominal part surfaces. This is necessary
when unequal inside/outside tolerances are applied to the nomi-
nal profile. Material indicator lines must be positioned outside
the material surface as shown below.
The orientation of the material indicator lines can be changed by selecting
them with the mouse. Select by clicking on a line, or by dragging a marquee
around a line and releasing the mouse button.
