distance to shape
distance to shape receives any 3D field into its input port and outputs the same field with an additional data component. Using plume shell, you can cut structures with either a cylinder or rotated rectangle. The cutting action is z invariant (like a cookie cutter). Depending on the resolution of the input field, rectangles may not have sharp corners. With rectilinear fields (and non-rotated rectangles), the threshold module can replace plume shell to produce sharp corners (by removing whole cells). plume can be used to output 3D fields for additional filtering or mapping.
Ports
| Direction | Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input | Input Field | Field | The field to add the shape data to. |
| Input | Z Scale | Number | The factor for vertical scaling. |
| Output | Output Field | Field | The field with added shape data. |
Properties
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Allow Run | Boolean | This toggle can prevent the module from running. Allowing the user to make changes to large data sets without waiting for updates. |
| Execute | Button | This button will force the module to run even if the Allow Run toggle has been turned off. This allows the user to make a number of changes before updating. |
| Z Scale | Double | The Z Scale is the vertical scale that has been applied to the input. This is used for determining default extents. |
Shape Settings
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Shape Type | Choice: Cylindrical, Rectangular | The Shape Type allows the user to select the type of shape to generate data from. |
| X Center | Double | The X Center is the x center of the shape to be generated. |
| Y Center | Double | The Y Center is the y center of the shape to be generated. |
| Z Center | Double | The Z Center is the z center of the shape to be generated. |
| Z Height | Double | The height of the shape to be generated can be set using this control. |
| Cylinder Radius | Double | If Shape Type is set to Cylindrical the radius of the cylinder can be set using this control. |
| X Width | Double | If Shape Type is set to Rectangular the width of the rectangle can be set using this control. |
| Y Length | Double | If Shape Type is set to Rectangular the length of the rectangle can be set using this control. |
| Rectangular Rotation | Double | If Shape Type is set to Rectangular the rotation about the center of the rectangle can be set using this control. |
