Edge Boom¶

Functionality¶

This node splits the input mesh object into separate edges objects; it can be used to create a separate object from each edge of the input mesh.

This node has the following inputs:

Vertices. Vertices of the input mesh. This input is mandatory.
Edges. Edges of the input mesh. This input is optional: if it is not connected, Faces input will be used to determine object edges. But if you want output objects to appear in certain order, you need to connect this.
Faces. Faces of the input mesh. This input is optional. This input must be connected if Edges input is not connected.

This node has the following parameters:

Output mode. The following modes are available:
- Vertices. For each edge of the input mesh, output the first vertex of the edge to the Vertex1 output and the second vertex of the edge to the Vertex2 output. This mode is the default one.
- Objects. Make a separate object from each edge of the input mesh, and output the list of it’s vertices (always 2 vertices) into Vertices output, and the list of it’s edges (always 1 edge) into Edges output.
Separate. This parameter is available only when Output mode is set to Objects. If checked, output separate list of edge objects per each input objects. Otherwise, output one flat list of edge objects for all input objects. Unchecked by default.
Sort vertices. This parameter is available only when Output mode is set to Vertices. If checked, the node will sort vertices of each edge, so that the Vertex1 output will always contain a vertex with index (in the input mesh) smaller than the index of the vertex in the Vertex2 output. Checked by default.

This node has the following outputs:

Vertex1. The first vertex of each edge. This output contains one vertex for each edge of the input object. This output is only available when the Output mode parameter is set to Vertices.
Vertex2. The second vertex of each edge. This output contains one vertex for each edge of the input object. This output is only available when the Output mode parameter is set to Vertices.
Vertices. Vertices of the objects into which the input mesh was split. This output contains two vertices for each edge of the input mesh. This output is only available when the Output mode parameter is set to Objects.
Edges. Edges of the objects into which the input mesh was split. This output contains one edge for each edge of the input mesh. This output is only available when the Output mode parameter is set to Objects.
