geo/PolyWire

Turns the edges of an input into round tubes.

Topology

Reads the input's TOPOLOGY — segment pairs, triangle / quad / hexa polygon edges — and sweeps a circular section along every edge chain, so a wireframe, a curve or a mesh all give a usable tube network. A ball closes the junction wherever three or more edges meet. Each input object gives its own output mesh, and separate curves are never joined end to start. A point cloud, which has no edges, keeps the buffer-order behaviour of a single open polyline.

Parameters

Name Type What it does
radius Float Radius of the swept tube, in world units.
segments UInt32 Number of sides of the swept circular section.
allocator UInt8 TEMP · POOL · FLAT_POOL Which allocator backs the scratch buffers: a pool/flat-pool clears at end of cook, temp at end of frame.
