Vector Display

Creation method#

There are two options for creating a Vector Display node.#

• The first way to create a Vector Display 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.
  • vector , display , show , arrow , preview
• The second way is to select a Vector Display node from the menu that opens from the top left.
  • Menu > Tool > Vector > Vector Display

Inputs#

• Vector (Vector3) — the vector to display. Its magnitude defines the arrow length; its direction defines the arrow direction.
• Origin (Point3, default {0, 0, 0}) — the anchor point where the arrow base is placed.

Config ports#

• Color (Color, default #cda709) — arrow color.

Steps#

• Create a Vector Display node.
• Connect the vector you want to visualize to the Vector port.
• Optionally connect an anchor point to the Origin port — if left empty, the arrow starts at the world origin.
• Expand the node's config section (chevron below the body) to change the arrow color.

Output#

• Vector (Vector3) — pass-through of the input vector, tagged with meta.display so the viewport renders it as an arrow.

Notes#

• The arrow's total length in world units equals the magnitude of the input vector.
• Only vectors with meta.display are rendered in the viewport; regular vector outputs from other nodes are not drawn.
