Write Paths Properties

PCGEx | Path : Properties

Compute extra path informations

The Write Path Properties node enhances path data by computing both point-level details (e.g., distances, normals, and directions) and path-level attributes like averaged direction, convexity, centroids, and additional spatial insights.

Table of content

The Write Path Properties node outputs a variety of useful points data, as well as path-level data; like direction between path neighboring points, averaged path direction, whether a path is concave or convex; that kind of stuff.

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.

Tag Description
Concave Tag If enabled, add the specified tag to the output data if the path is concave.
Convex Tag If enabled, add the specified tag to the output data if the path is convex.
