Box

Creates a box.

Inputs

• type

  • Sets the type of box to output. This can be normal or csg.

• center

  • The vector value that defines the center of the output box.

• scale

  • The vector value that defines the scale of the output box.

• uniform scale

  • The vector value that defines the uniform scale of the output box.

Outputs

• geometry

  • Output primitives.

• points

  • The list of points of the output primitives.

• points.x

  • The list of x values of the points of the output primitives.

• points.y

  • The list of y values of the points of the output primitives.

• points.z

  • The list of z values of the points of the output primitives.

Notes

• The scale of a box in both the scale and uniform scale inputs are additive and are both considered in the operation of the node.

• The size of a box when both the scale and uniform scale inputs are 1 are the same unit scale as the set “graph length unit”. For example if the “graph length unit” is in millimeters, then the size of the box will be 1mm,1mm,1mm.

• The type input defines the library in which a box is created (normal and CSG). Both are functionally similar, though will have differing triangulation methods.

• Other names for this node include: PolyBox, Poly box, and Cube.
