Creation method#

There are two options for creating Extremes node.#

  • The first way to create Extremes node 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.
    • ext
  • The second way is to select Extremes node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Analysis > Extremes

Steps#

  • Create Extremes node.
  • Connect the geometry whose extremes you want to find to the first port.
  • Connect the plane for extreme direction to the second port.

After creating a node, connect the geometry whose extremes you want to find to the first port. To the second port, connect the plane for extreme direction. On the output ports, you will get a geometry highest and lowest points.
