Analyze Surface Continuity with Zebra Analysis
The zebra analysis tool projects stripes onto a surface so that you can inspect
the continuity between surfaces.
Surface continuity is a measure of how smoothly two surfaces flow into each
other. A car hood, for example, can be composed of multiple small surfaces
that appear to be one because of the smoothness of the surface continuity.

How to Interpret the Zebra Stripes
In the seam where two surfaces meet, the way that the zebra stripes align and
curve tells you a lot about the smoothness of the join.
â–  G0 Position. The position of the surface edges is collocated; they touch.
But the tangency and curvature do not match. The zebra stripes do not
line up.
