Switch

Switches between geometry inputs using an index value.

Inputs

• geometry

  • Accepts multiple geometry connections.

• index

  • The index of the geometry connection to output.

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.

Note(s)

• A special function of the this node is that the graph will not compute geometry that isn't within the connection selected by the index input.

  • As such, this node can be used to optimize the computation of the graph by switching between computationally light and heavy geometry with the Ephemeral State node.
  • This is not true, however, for the Number switch, Vector switch, or String switch nodes.

• Other names for this node include: Choose and Pick.
