🝊 Special Edges
PCGEx | Vtx : Special Edges
Gather infos from special-case edges
The Special Edges property outputs data about the two most extreme edges connected to a vertex — the shortest and longest — allowing users to capture attributes like direction, length, and indices for both, with an additional option to average all connected edges.

Properties : VtxTable of content
The Special Edges property outputs the properties of the two “special” connected edges – special in the outlier sense : the Shortest connected edge, as well as the Longest connected edge.
Properties
Shortest Edge
| Output | Description |
|---|---|
Direction AttributeFVector
| If enabled, writes the Shortest Edge’ direction to the specified attribute. |
| Invert Direction | If enabled, will invert (*-1) the direction output above. |
Length AttributeDouble
| If enabled, writes the Shortest Edge’’ length to the specified attribute. |
Edge Index AttributeInt32
| If enabled, writes the Shortest Edge’’ point index to the specified attribute.This is useful for targeted/cherry-picking manipulations. |
Vtx Index AttributeInt32
| If enabled, writes the Vtx’ point index the Shortest Edge’ connects to, to the specified attribute.This is useful for targeted/cherry-picking manipulations. |
Neighbor Count AttributeInt32
| If enabled, writes the Vtx’ point neighbor count the Shortest Edge’ connects to, to the specified attribute.Amongst other things, this can come in handy to drive the  🝰 Heuristic Attribute.
|
Longest Edge
| Output | Description |
|---|---|
Direction AttributeFVector
| If enabled, writes the Longest Edge’ direction to the specified attribute. |
| Invert Direction | If enabled, will invert (*-1) the direction output above. |
Length AttributeDouble
| If enabled, writes the Longest Edge’’ length to the specified attribute. |
Edge Index AttributeInt32
| If enabled, writes the Longest Edge’’ point index to the specified attribute.This is useful for targeted/cherry-picking manipulations. |
Vtx Index AttributeInt32
| If enabled, writes the Vtx’ point index the Longest Edge’ connects to, to the specified attribute.This is useful for targeted/cherry-picking manipulations. |
Neighbor Count AttributeInt32
| If enabled, writes the Vtx’ point neighbor count the Longest Edge’ connects to, to the specified attribute.Amongst other things, this can come in handy to drive the 🝰 Heuristic Attribute.

Average Edge
A sub-selection of all connected’ edges average.
| Output | Description |
|---|---|
Direction AttributeFVector
| If enabled, writes the averaged direction of all connected edges. |
| Invert Direction | If enabled, will invert (*-1) the direction output above. |
Length AttributeDouble
| If enabled, writes the averaged length of all connected edges. |
