Planar Patch

generators/planar-patch·v1.5.1

IN:0 OUT:1

SUMMARY

Planar Patch generates a flat, evenly triangulated mesh in a Rectangle, Circle, Trapezoid or Ring shape at one target Edge Length. The boundary is resampled with every corner kept and the interior is relaxed so triangles come out close to equilateral, giving the same mesh every cook.

Each shape has its own controls: Round Corners and Corner Radius for the rectangle, Side, Taper and Skew for the trapezoid, and Inner Size and Open Arc for rings and arcs. Orient, Center, Scale and Uniform Scale place the patch in space.

PARAMETERS

PAGEPlanar Patch

[+]Shape	Shape	Determines the base shape: Rectangle, Circle, Trapezoid or Ring.
Edge Length	Edgelength	Sets the target triangle edge length in world units. Triangles are close to equilateral.
[+]Orient	Orient	Sets the plane orientation. The plane passes through the Center.
[+]Center	Center	Center of the patch in world units.
[+]Scale	Scale	Scale factor for each axis of the mesh.
Uniform Scale	Uniformscale	Specifies a uniform scale factor in all axes.
Round Corners	Roundcorners	Enable round corners.
Corner Radius	Cornerradius	Sets the radius of the rounded corners.
[+]Side	Side	Selects the tapered side of the trapezoid.
Taper	Taper	Sets the taper amount of the chosen side in Trapezoid mode.
Skew	Skew	Sets the shift of the tapered side along its axis, for the Trapezoid shape.
[+]Inner Size	Innersize	Sets the size of the hole when Shape is Ring.
Open Arc	Openarc	Sets the start and end angles of an open Ring arc. Angles are given in degrees.
Copy Topology Info Back to CPU	Cpureadback	Enable copying the point count and topology information held on the GPU to the CPU.
