Creation method

There are two options for creating a Perp Planes node.

  • The first way to create a Perp Planes node is using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need or words associated with this node.
    • perpPlanes
  • The second way is to select a Perp Planes node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Toolset > Perp Planes

Steps

  • Create a Perp Planes node.
  • Connect the curve witch wants to divide to the first port.
  • Connect the number of segments to the second port.
  • Connect the alignments of the planes to the third port.

Once the node is created, connect the curve witch wants to divide to the first port, the number of segments to the second port, and the alignments of the planes to the third port. On the output ports, you will get the resulting curvature planes and parameter values at division points.
