Creation method#

There are two options for creating a Star node.#

  • The first way to create a Star 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.
    • star
  • The second way is to select a Star node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Primitive curves > Star

Steps#

  • Create a Star node.
  • Connect the center point of the star to the first port.
  • The second port gets the radius of the star (distance from center to tip) of the star.
  • The third port gets the radius of the star (distance from center to tip) of the star.
  • The fourth port gets the number of vertices of the star.

After creating the node, connect the center point of the polygon to the first port, the radius in star (distance from center to tip) of the star to the second port, the radius out star (distance from center to tip) of the star to the third port and the number of vertices of the star to the fourth port. On the output port, you will receive the resulting star.
