      Sharp features that will cause poor quality prism layers can be identified by using the diagnostics tools to search for low dihedral angle. To do this, expand Mesh Objects tree and right click on mesh object and select Diagnostics > Connectivity and Quality, then switch to the Quality tab. Change the Measure to Dihedral Angle, set the angle and then click Mark. This will then mark all of the feature with angle below the specified value allowing you to identify and correct the geometry.
