Line¶
Functionality¶
The node can create line with origin in center of coordinate system and X, Y or Z direction or with custom origin and direction. Also number of subdivisions can be set.
Category¶
Generators -> Line
Inputs¶
Num Verts - number of vertices of a line
Size - length of a line
Step(s) - distance between points of a line
Origin - custom center of coordinate system
Direction - direction of a line
Outputs¶
Verts - coordinates of line(s)
Edges - just edges

Step length mode - expect array of steps with help of which a line can be subdivided into unequal parts.
Step + size mode - expect array of steps with help of which a line can be subdivided into proportional parts with custom line length.
Example of usage¶
The first example shows just an standard line with 4 vertices and 1.00 ud between them
