Nodes

The nodes creation tool is used to place points along the curves of the sketch, that can later be used to generate the cells in the sketch profile.

Usage

Min Rod Length

Minimum distance between two points. If the segmentation requires to create a point at a distance lower than this threshold it will fail and not create such node. This parameter is usually used to prevent designing 'non-buildable' parts

Max Rod Length

Maximum distance between two points. If a segment does not meet the requirement, the segmentation will fail. This parameter is usually used to prevent designing 'non-buildable' parts

Number of Subdivisions

Defines how many points will be inserted on each segment (as long as they meet the two previous parameters)

Remarks

The 'node creation' step is required in order to use the cell-generation feature of the LDS plugin. Jump to that section here
