Triangulate surface

Converts NURBS surfaces to meshes.

Inputs

• geometry

  • Accepts a single geometry connection (unless the SHIFT key is held).

• mode

  • Sets the mode in which the quality of the resulting triangulated mesh is determined. This can be combine U & V quality or separate U & V quality.

• quality

  • The value that defines the quality for both U & V coordinates of the resulting triangulated mesh when mode is set to combine U & V quality.

• qualityU

  • The value that defines the quality for the U coordinate of the resulting triangulated mesh when mode is set to separate U & V quality.

• qualityV

  • The value that defines the quality for the U coordinate of the resulting triangulated mesh when mode is set to separate U & V quality.

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.
