Houdini 13.0 Nodes

interface version 1

A convenience variant of PolyCap that closes all open polygonal boundaries.

This operator can automatically close all open polygonal boundaries, and/or create primitive groups for both the boundary primitives and the cap geometry.

Tip

To quickly close all open polygonal boundaries, just drop in this SOP with its default settings.

Parameters

Convert Input to Polygons

Convert input geometry to polygons. This shortcut can especially be useful for poly soups.

Group Name

A list of boundary geometry components to create caps for.

If disabled, all open boundaries will be closed.

Cap Geometry

The caps are generated by default. By disabling this switch, the operator can be used to output only the groups created for the cap operation.

...

See PolyCap help for other parameter details.

Edges Group, Caps Group

If enabled, the appropriate geometry groups will be created, containing the determined boundary edges and the generated caps geometry, respectively.

Visualize Groups

Use polygon primitive colors to visualize memberships for the above groups.

Note that this is for visual feedback only, and it will ruin any original geometry color attributes.
