Geometry Reorient

Toolset

2 inputs, 1 output

Ports

Inputs

2

What the node takes in, from wires or typed values.

Target

Geometry

Geometries to be reoriented

Forward

Boolean

Default false

If true, reorient to forward direction; if false, reorient to reverse direction

Outputs

1

What the node gives out, to wire into other nodes.

Aligned

Geometry

The reoriented geometries

Creation method#

There are two options for creating a Geometry Reorient node.#

  • The first way to create a Geometry Reorient 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.
    • geometry, reorient, align, direction
  • The second way is to select a Geometry Reorient node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Toolset > Geometry Reorient

Steps#

  • Create a Geometry Reorient node.
  • Connect the geometries (curves, solids, surfaces) whose orientation you want to adjust to the input port.
  • Connect a Boolean value (true for forward, false for reverse) to the Forward Direction input port.

After creating the node and connecting the inputs, the output port will provide the geometries with adjusted orientations based on the specified direction.
