interface version 1
Grows (or shrinks) the specified geometry group by adding/removing components at group edges.
...
Parameters
| Group Name | Name of the geometry group to be grown (or shrunk). Group type is automatically detected. Point, primitive, and edge types are supported. |
| Output Name | If enabled, a new group of the same type will be created and used for the operation. |
| Steps | The number times to apply growth (use negative values for shrinkage). Each step has the approximate size of a single geometry component along the group edges. |
| Grow (Shrink) Along | Geometry component type to traverse along when growing (or shrinking) the group. (Different types most often result in differently shaped results.) Note Do not specify the same component type as of the geometry group, or no growth/shrinkage will occur. |
Known Issues
The guide geometry might not always be accurate (but it doesn’t affect the end result).
Might be slow on large geometry (shrinking, especially).
To Do
When selecting an(other) group, the UI should change the “Grow/Shrink Along” parameter if it conflicts with the newly selected group’s type
