Make Tubes¶
This effect will create n-sided cylinders along given edges.
Tip
This is especially helpful if your input doesn’t have polygons.
Blender’s Wireframe modifier creates nicer connections where edges meet, but it requires polygonal mesh, making it less composable with other effects.
- Input
edge wireframe, polygonal mesh
- Output
polygonal mesh
- VTK classes
vtkTubeFilter
,vtkExtractEdges
Options¶
- Radius
Radius of the cylinder created along each edge.
- Number of sides
Number of sides for the cylinders (more sides create nicer looking mesh, but are more resource intensive).
- Capping
Whether the ends should be closed.
