# Verticality

This command allows you to check the verticality of a tank creating:

- vertical sections on the best cylinder
- vertical sections on the mesh of the tank
- inspections between vertical sections on the mesh and vertical sections on the best cylinder

> [!TIP]
> ### Requirements
> 
> The mesh of the tank defined for the project is used by default. However, it is possible to create sections on any other mesh by selecting it before launching the command. You can, for example, use only the shell of the tank after using the command [Separate Shell](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-separateshellc). The [Best Cylinder](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-tankbestcylinderc) must be computed before launching this command.

1. **Choose the direction** of the axis to use to compute sections. It is possible to use:
  1. the direction of the [best cylinder](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-tankbestcylinderc)
  2. or the Z direction, to create vertical sections (according to the current CS).
2. Define the **Radii Tolerance** or use the API 653 tolerance.
3. Choose **where to create your sections**:
  - With a regular angle between each section: all around the mesh or on a certain part,
  - By giving a list of angles,
  - By clicking points on the mesh to define where the sections need to be created.
4. Choose the **rotation direction** of the sections. By default, angles are defined in the **counterclockwise** direction, starting on the reference point defined for the orientation of the project (see [Create / Edit Project](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-createeditprojectc)).
5. Click **Preview** to compute the sections and check the results. The sections will be **previewed in a 2D layout**, so that the results can be easily checked. The option **3D** allows to split the view vertically, in order to visualize the 3D elements in the left view and the 2D layout in the right view.
6. If the results are satisfactory, you can edit the colors of the inspection by clicking on the [Edit Colors](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-editgradientc) button.

> [!WARNING]
> ### Notes
> 
> - An angle of 0° creates a section on the reference marker.
> - When you define an angle, a section is done on both sides of the mesh, so a section with an angle of 0° will give the same result as with an angle of 180°.
