Unlike structure contouring and other mapbased techniques, it preserves only the orientation of lines and planes with no ability to preserve position relationships. With these two measurements we can determine the orientation of the axial hinge without having to climb inside and attempt to measure that thing upside down.

When the two limbs of a fold are essentially parallel to each other and thus approximately parallel to the axial plane, the fold is called isoclinal. Recumbent fold this type of fold is compressed so much that it is no longer vertical. For example, if a fold has a broad, rounded hinge, the density ofpoints will be uniform within the xcirclegirdle, and the two extreme points on the girdle will define the interlimb angle fig.
