Triangle¶

Functionality¶

The node is designed to generate triangles from various combinations of vertices, sides length and angles.

Param	Type	Description
Mode	Enum	Choose how you want to define the triangle: A_c_Alpha_Beta: One Vertex, the contiguous side length and two angles A_B_Alpha_Beta: Two Vertex and two angles A_b_c_Alpha: One Vertex, two contiguous sides’ length and one angle A_B_b_Alpha: Two Vertex, one side length and one angle A_a_b_c: One Vertex, and length of the three sides A_B_a_b Two Vertex, and length of the two sides A_B_C : Three Vertex
A	Vector	Vertex A of the triangle
B	Vector	Vertex B of the triangle
C	Vector	Vertex C of the triangle
a	Float	Normal of the plane B
b	Float	Normal of the plane B
c	Float	Normal of the plane B
Alpha	Float	Normal of the plane B
Beta	Float	Normal of the plane B

In the N-Panel (and on the right-click menu) you can find:

Join Last level: Join (mesh join) last level of triangles (default set to False)

Remove Doubles: Remove doubles of the joined triangles (only active when “Join Last Level” is True)

Tolerance: Removing Doubles Tolerance (only active when “Remove Doubles” is True)

Flat output: Flatten output by list-joining level 1 and unwrapping it (default set to True)

Match List Global: Define how list with different lengths should be matched. Refers to the matching of groups (level 1)

Match List Local: Define how list with different lengths should be matched. Refers to the matching inside groups (level 2)

Vertices: Vertex of triangles

Edges: Edges of triangles

Faces: Polygon data of the triangles

Three ways of getting the same triangle from different inputs

The node can be used to generate more complex shapes, note that “join last level” is activated the N-Panel
