Module: Open Inventor Scene To Surface ()

Description:

The Open Inventor Scene To Surface computational module parses the connected Open Inventor scene graph (Open Inventor geometry data) and converts it into the surface format. This is done when you press the Apply button. A green icon named GeometrySurface representing the generated surface should appear in the Project View.

If no data object is connected, all geometry currently displayed in the first viewer is converted.

Duplicated points are removed during the conversion. Duplicated points are points with a distance less than the diameter of the bounding box times the given Tolerance distance factor.

Triangles of similar color are grouped into patches if you select the create patches by color option. Colors are considered similar if they differ by less than the Tolerance color value in RGB space.

Connections:

Data [required]

Connect a data object of type Iv Data to this port.

Ports:

Tolerance

Tolerance distance controls duplicated points removal.

Tolerance color controls which colors are considered similar.

Options

If the create connectivity option is set, the triangle connectivity of the Surface data format is filled.

The create color field option controls whether an additional vector field containing color values is created from the Open Inventor data that approximates the diffuse material properties. This data can be used as a ColorField when displaying the geometry.

If the create patches by color option is set, triangles of similar color are grouped into patches.
