Implements linear and Bezier curves. Objects of type <Path> serve a variety of functions but are primarily used for modeling loft and sweep geometry.
Class registration and implementation information is as follows:
| Category | Documentation |
|---|---|
| Implementation | C++ |
| Module | Core-App-Geometry |
| Class Hierarchy | Node » Path |
| Data Interface Name | Path |
| Type Status | Active |
| Is Final Type | Yes |
Properties are as follows:
| Property | Documentation |
|---|---|
| Group of Material Nodes | Specifies the <Group>'s containing <Material> nodes used by the path. |
| Material | Specifies which <Material> from the palette to apply to this segment. |
| Tessellation Depth | Specifies the number of sub points for a Bezier curve. |
| Start Texture Coordinate | Specifies the start texture coordinate. Use 0.0 to start tiling at the beginning of the <Texture>. Use 0.5 to start tiling in the middle of the <Texture>. |
| End Texture Coordinate | Specifies the start texture coordinate. Use 1.0 to stop tiling at the end of the <Texture>. Use 0.5 to stop tiling in the middle of the <Texture>. |
| Length | Enumerates the length of the segment. |
| Position X | The X axis position of the point. |
| Position Y | The Y axis position of the point. |
| Position Z | The Z axis position of the point. |
| Start Heading | Displays the start heading for the curve segment. |
| Start Pitch | Displays the start pitch for the curve segment. |
| End Heading | Displays the end heading for the curve segment. |
| End Pitch | Displays the end pitch for the curve segment. |
Properties are as follows:
| Property | Documentation |
|---|---|
| Name | Sets orthe name of the node. Do not use / or \ [forward slash and backslash] in the node name as this produces conflicts with resolving link nodes that reference external files. |
| Class | Sets the class of the node. |
| ID | Sets the ID of the node. This must be unique for each document, but different documents can use the same ID. |
| Import Disabled | Determines whether or not the node is imported during an import process such as when nodes are imported from a template during document creation. Note that this flag is mostly in Simdify Scripting language. |
| Export Disabled | Determines whether or not the node is exported during an export process, or possibly other purposes. This flag is set to No and current Simdify exporters ignore it (but it can be very useful if you need to modify the exporters). |
| Guid | Enumerates the Node's GUID. |
