Ring¶
Functionality¶
Ring generator will create a 2D ring based on its radii sets, number of sections and phase.
Inputs¶
All inputs are vectorized and they will accept single or multiple values.
Major Radius [1]
Minor Radius [1]
Exterior Radius [2]
Interior Radius [2]
Radial Sections
Circular Sections
Start Angle [3]
End Angle [3]
Phase [3]
Notes:
[1] : Major/Minor radii are available when Major/Minor mode is elected.
[2] : Exterior/Interior radii are available when Exterior/Interior mode is elected.
[3] : The angles are in DEGREES. The Property Panel has option to set angle units as: RADIANS, DEGREES or UNITIES.
Parameters¶
The MODE parameter allows to switch between Major/Minor and Exterior/Interior radii values. The input socket values for the two radii are interpreted as such based on the current mode.
All parameters except Mode and Separate can be given by the node or an external input.

Notes:
[1] : Major/Minor radii are available when Major/Minor mode is elected.
[2] : Exterior/Interior radii are available when Exterior/Interior mode is elected.
[3] : Angles are given by default in DEGREES. The Property Panel has option to set angle units as: RADIANS, DEGREES or UNITIES.
[4] : When start and end angle (modulo 2pi) are equal, the ring is closed (no duplicate verts are created)
Extra Parameters¶
Property panel has extra parameters to tweak the ring.
Subdivide Circular With this parameter the circular sections can be subdivided to give smoother circles while the circular sections may be low.
Outputs¶
Vertices, Edges and Polygons. All outputs will be generated when connected.
