create mask

create mask

The create mask module creates convex and concave hulls from input point data. The resulting mask can be output as a triangulated surface or as lines.

Ports

OutputOutput FieldFieldThe output mask field.
OutputOutput ObjectRenderableA renderable object to display.

Properties

PropertyTypeDescription
Allow RunBooleanThis toggle can prevent the module from running. Allowing the user to make changes to large data sets without waiting for updates.
ExecuteButtonThis 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.
Mask TypeChoice: Convex, ConcaveControls whether the output is a convex or concave hull.
Bridging TargetDoubleDistance between two points used to determine the fidelity of the concave hull in coordinate system units.
Disconnected RegionsIntegerThis value represents the estimated number of disconnected regions in the input, which is used to determine the optimal default Bridging Distance value.
OffsetDoubleThis value represents the offset in user coordinates the resulting mask will be inflated by.
Arc ResolutionIntegerThis specifies the number of points used on each corner for smoothing if a value in the Offset option other than 0 is chosen. An Arc Resolution of 1 results in just the corner point without any smoothing.
Output As SurfaceBooleanIf enabled, this option will output the resulting mask as a triangulated surface. Otherwise, the output will be lines.
Z PositionDoubleZ Position determines the Z location of the output. This allows you to position the output at the most convenient elevation.
