The only way to get curves from geometry that already exists. Boundary traces the open rim of a sheet, which is what you want for piping around the edge of a panel. Crease traces the folds between faces, which gives you the structural lines of a shape.
Once the edges are curves, everything that takes a curve applies: sweep a tube along them for piping, grow vines up them, place points along them.
Inputs
| Socket | Type | Wiring |
|---|---|---|
| mesh | geometry |
Parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Available when | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mode | boundary | crease | boundary | always | |
| Angle | number | 30 | Mode is crease | |
| Radius | number | 1 | always |
1 of these 3 parameters only apply in some settings. The Available when column says which.
