Edge Flip surface node

Flips the direction of polygon edges.

All Parameters Example files

You can set the number of times to flip the edge (Number of Cycles). You can also choose to cycle vertex attributes or not. This is useful when vertices have texture coordinates.

Using EdgeFlip

  1. Select the edges you want to flip.

  2. Click the Edgeflip tool on the Polygon tab.

Parameters

Group

The edges to flip.

Cycles

The number of times to flip the edges.

Cycle Vertex Attributes

Toggles whether or not the vertex attributes cycle with the edges or remain fixed.

This example demonstrates how you can use the EdgeFlip SOP to flip a selected edge on a surface.

An edge is created on a polygon using the Polysplit SOP, then rotated using the EdgeFlip SOP.
