The Edge Order node lets you fix the order of the start & end point on the edge. This enable to have full control with edge filters that work on endpoint comparison.
Properties
Direction (Order)
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Direction Method | Defines which endpoints “order” will be used to define the direction reference for the ouputs. |
| Direction Choice | Further refines the direction method, based on the above selection. - Smallest to Greatest will order direction reference metrics in ascending order.- Greatest to Smallest will order direction reference metrics in descending order.Really it’s how the endpoint reference value is sorted, but I couldn’t call that Direction’ direction. |
| Dir Source Attribute | The attribute that will be used by the selected method. |
If the selected method is
Edge Dot Attribute, the attribute will be read fromEdgesas anFVectordirection.
Method
The Direction method, combined with the Direction Choice determine which endpoint should be considered the Start & End of the edge. The “direction” of the edge used for computing outputs & properties is the safe normal going from the start to the end of the edge.
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Endpoints order | Will use the endpoints’ as ordered during cluster construction. |
| Endpoints indices | Will use the endpoints’ point index. |
| Endpoints Sort | Enables the use of any number of Sorting Rules to determine direction. This method, while more expensive, is the most efficient. |
| Edge Dot Attribute | Will use an attribute (converted to an FVector) from the edges’ and do a Dot Product with the edge’ direction.This method, combined with Direction Choice offers full control over direction.
