Volume Break surface node

Retain the geometry inside or outside the SDF volume, or both (all).

Add geometry to fill in holes created by the break, or leave them open (do not close).

• Flat: create one polygon for each hole (may not be planar).

• Pyramid: find an apex point so that the closing geometry is a pointy approximation to the volume.

If holes are left open, then check this option to close polygons that were opened by the cut. If holes are closed, then polygons are automatically closed.

A high tolerance will cause cuts to occur from vertex to vertex, while a low tolerance will cause the geometry to be split more accurately, introducing new vertices. To avoid tiny polygons, set the tolerance to a high enough value so that cuts that would otherwise occur close to a vertex will instead occur on the vertex itself when the distance to the vertex is less than the tolerance value.

Create groups to differentiate between the output geometry lying inside the volume and the output geometry lying outside the volume.

The name of the primitive group containing polygons inside the volume.

The name of the primitive group containing the closing geometry with respect to the inside geometry.

The name of the primitive group containing polygons outside the volume.

The name of the primitive group containing the closing geometry with respect to the outside geometry. The contents are identical to that of the first closure group.

The geometry to be cut.

The SDF volume used to break the geometry.
