The Path Spline Mesh node creates a spline mesh from an existing path. It’s a lightweight alternative to the 
Path Spline Mesh node, that rely on pre-existing per-point data to build the spline mesh.
As a rule of thumb, it’s also more straightforward to use when your spline doesn’t need complex fitting & distribution options.
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Closed loop | |
| Scope | The scope/selection of input data that are to be processed as closed paths or not. - All processes all input as selected below.- All but tagged inverts the scope based on tags.Default is, all paths are considered open, unless they are tagged with ClosedLoop.
|
| Closed Loop | Whether to consider input data that are part of the scope as closed loop or not. |
| Comma Separated Tags | Tags to check for. Any match uses the inverse of the above value. |
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Asset Path | Name of the FSoftObjectPath attribute that contains the mesh associated with the point’ segment. |
Tangents
While disabled by default, Tangents play a crucial role in giving the spline mesh a correct deformation. It’s generally preferable to compute some using 
Write Tangents beforehand.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Apply Custom Tangents | When enabled, applies FVector tangents attributes to path segments. |
| Arrive Tangent Attribute | Per-point attribute to read the arrive tangent from. |
| Leave Tangent Attribute | Per-point attribute to read the leave tangent from. |
| Spline Mesh Axis | Chooses which mesh local axis will be aligned along the spline mesh’ segment. |
Note that the way arrive/leave tangent works is that each spline mesh segment uses the current point’
leavevalue, and the next pointarrivevalue.
Additional Outputs
Lets you output the Weight of the selection to each node, using different post-processing methods.
This can be very handy to identify “rare” spawns and preserve them during self-pruning operations.
Tagging Components
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Grab Tags | Pick which tags from the asset collection should be grabbed and added to the component. See Entries & Collections Tags. |
| Forward Input Data Tags | If enabled, tags associated with the currently processed dataset will be forwarded to the components. |
