We discuss aspects of the convex-roof extension of multipartite entanglement measures, that is, SL(2,C) invariant tangles. We highlight two key concepts that contain valuable information about the tangle of a density matrix: the zero polytope is a convex set of density matrices with vanishing tangle whereas the convex characteristic curve readily provides a nontrivial lower bound for the convex roof and serves as a tool for constructing the convex roof outside the zero polytope. Both concepts are derived from the tangle for superpositions of the eigenstates of the density matrix. We illustrate their application by considering examples of density matrices for two-qubit and three-qubit states of rank 2, thereby pointing out both the power and the limitations of the concepts.
