Plane (Surface)¶
Functionality¶
This node generate a Surface object, which represents a rectangular segment of plane.
Surface domain: defined by node parameters.
Surface parametrization: Point = P0 + u*V1 + v*V1

Inputs¶
This node has the following inputs:
Point1. The first point on the plane. This point will correspond to U = 0 and V = 0. The default value is (0, 0, 0).
Point2. The second point on the plane. This point will correspond to U = 1 and V = 0. This input is only available when Mode parameter is set to Three points. The default value is (1, 0, 0).
Point3. The third point on the plane. This point will correspond to U = 0 and V = 1. This input is only available when Mode parameter is set to Three points. The default value is (0, 1, 0).
Normal. The normal direction of the plane. This input is only available when Mode parameter is set to Point and normal. The default value is (0, 0, 1).
U Min, U Max. Minimum and maximum values of surface’s U parameter. Default values are 0 and 1.
V Min, V Max. Minimum and maximum values of surface’s V parameter. Default values are 0 and 1.
Parameters¶
This node has the following parameter:
Mode. This determines how the plane is specified. The available options are:
Three points
Point and normal
Outputs¶
This node has the following output:
Surface. The Surface object of the plane.
