Solidify

Extrudes a mesh along its normal. Used usually to get a thick mesh from a planar mesh.

Inputs

• Vertices: Mesh Vertices (mandatory)

• Edges: Mesh Edges (optional, if you want to output edges makes the algorithm faster)

• Polygons: Mesh Polygons (mandatory)

• Thickness: Distance to extrude

• Offset: Relative offset from original mesh [-1.0; 1.0]

Options

• Even: adjust thickness in sharp corners to have a even thickness.

• Implementation: Algorithm used to compute.

  • Sverchok: Faster all with more options

  • Blender: Old method, left because it may differ in some corner cases

Outputs

• Vertices, Edges, Polygons: Modified mesh

• New Pols: New opposite polygons (in the same order as the originals)

• Rim Pols: Side Polygons created in the boundaries of the mesh

• Pols Group: Outputs a list to mask polygons from the modified mesh,

  • 0 = Original Polygon

  • 1 = New Polygon

  • 2 = Rim Polygon

• New Verts Mask: To split old vertices form new vertices
