Swap Surface U/V¶
Functionality¶
This node generates a Surface by swapping U and V directions of another Surface parametrizations. More precisely, given the surface defined by formula P = S(U, V), it generates the surface defined by formula P = S(V, U). This is the same surface as the original one, but with another paramertization.
Swapping surface’s parametrization direction flips the surface’s normals.
Surface domain: in the U direction - the same as of original surface in the V direction; and vice versa, in the V direction - the same as of original surface in the U direction.
Inputs¶
This node has the following input:
Surface. The surface to be processed. This input is mandatory.
Outputs¶
This node has the following output:
Surface. The new surface.
Example of usage¶
Let’s generate a grid on some surface with 30 samples in U direction and 10 samples in V direction. Then we can see that directions are swapped by this node:
Curves-> Circle (Curve)
Surfaces-> Extrude Curve Along Vector
Surfaces-> Evaluate Surface
Transform-> Move
