How does TG2 handle overhangs for slope constraints? Technically it "should" handle these slopes as angles greater than 90 degrees.

I was wondering the exact same thing about a week ago. it should be 0-360 correct?

In the fun with craters thread I posted some images of pillars with bulges. The underside of those bulges give me slope angles >90 degrees. In that particular case I see values of 150-160 degrees. Since it can calulate that it's my guess it handles it properly in constraints.

TG2 does handle these situations correctly. Although this can be confusing at extreme angles, the alternatives are generally more so. The realtime 3D preview slope readout should help in dealing with these kinds of situations.
