Explode

Creation method#

There are two options for creating Explode node.#

• The first way to create Explode 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.
  • explode , split
• The second way is to select Explode node from the menu that opens from the top left.
  • Menu > Tool > Toolset > Explode

Steps#

• Create a Explode node.
• Connect the curve you want to explode to the first port.
• Connect the boolean (True, False) to the second port. This input allows you to control the level of recursion of the explosion operation. If set to True, the component will recursively explode the input curve, creating new segments from the existing segments. This means that each segment will be exploded again, creating even smaller segments. If set to False, the component will only explode the input curve once, creating the segments only once. The default is set to True.

The "segments" output port returns a list of individual curve segments that make up the original input curve. Each segment is represented as a separate curve object and can be further processed or visualized. The segments are returned to the order in which they appear along the original curve.

The "points" output port returns a list of points, which are the vertices or control points of the original input curve. These points represent the locations of the endpoints of the segments that are returned from the "segments" output port.
