The group of primitives or edges to extrude and rotate around the specified hinge.

The type of the group to use to specify the elements to extrude.

The method of specifying the hinge pivot line.

When Pivot Mode is set to Edge Centric, this is the group of edges that specify the hinge line. You must select at least one edge to create the hinge.

If you select more than one edge, the hinge center and direction is the direction and position halfway along the curve specified by the edges.

When Pivot Mode is set to Position and Direction, this is the position of the pivot line on the grid.

The default value is 0, 0, 0.

When Pivot Mode is set to Position and Direction, this is the direction of the pivot line.

The default value is 0, 0, 1.

When Pivot Mode is set to From Attributes, this is the vector attribute that specifies the pivot position. When the Group Type is set to Primitives this must be a primitive attribute, and when set to Edges this must be a point attribute.

The default value is pivotpos.

When Pivot Mode is set to From Attributes, this is the vector attribute that specifies the pivot direction. When the Group Type is set to Primitives this must be a primitive attribute, and when set to Edges this must be a point attribute.

The default value is pivotdir.

The angle of the hinge, in degrees. A positive value pulls the selected faces away from the surface and a negative value pushes them into the surface. Set this to By Attribute to scale the angle by a float attribute on the primitives or points (depending on the Group Type).

The hinge direction depends on the relative positions of the selected faces and the hinge pivot. A center and normal of the selected faces is computed using the respective averages of the faces' centroids and normals, weighted by the area of each face.

The default values are 45 and No Scaling.

When Hinge Angle is set to By Attribute, this is the float attribute that specifies the amount to scale the Hinge Angle. When the Group Type is set to Primitives this must be a primitive attribute, and when set to Edges this must be a point attribute.

The default value is hingeangle.

The method you use to determine the number of divisions for the Hinge Angle.

When Specify Divisions is set to Maximum Division Angle, this is the maximum angle for each division. The number of divisions is the ceiling of the Hinge Angle divided by the Max Division Angle. Set this to By Attribute to scale this value by a float attribute on the primitives or points (depending on the Group Type).

The default values are 15 and No Scaling.

When Max Division Angle is set to By Attribute, this is the float attribute that specifies the amount to scale the Max Division Angle. When the Group Type is set to Primitives this must be a primitive attribute, and when set to Edges this must be a point attribute.

The default value is maxdivangle.

When Specify Divisions is set to Maximum Division Angle, this equally spaces the angle divisions determined by the Hinge Angle divided by the Max Division Angle.

When turned off, all except the last division have an angle equal to the Max Division Angle value. The spacing of the last division is equal to the difference of the Hinge Angle and the total angle of the previous divisions.

When Specify Divisions is set to Number of Divisions, this is the number of divisions for the Hinge Angle. Set this to By Attribute to scale this value by a float attribute on the primitives or points (depending on the Group Type).

The default values are 5 and No Scaling. This value must be a positive integer, and any fractions are rounded to a positive integer.

When Divisions is set to By Attribute, this is the float attribute that specifies the amount to scale the Divisions. When the Group Type is set to Primitives this must be a primitive attribute, and when set to Edges this must be a point attribute.

The floor of the attribute value multiplied by the Divisions is used for each component.

The default value is ndivs.

Fuses the points on the pivot line. The points must be within the Tolerance value of the pivot line to be considered on the pivot line.

The maximum distance that points fuse together. Determines when to fuse points if Fuse Points on Hinge Pivot Line or Fuse Collided Points is on.

The default value is 0.001.

The height of the row of quads that’s inserted at the top and bottom of the hinge side geometry. Set this to By Attribute to scale this value by a float attribute on the primitives or points (depending on the Group Type).

The default values are 0.1 and No Scaling.

When Inset is set to By Attribute, this is the float attribute that specifies the amount to scale the Inset. When you use this parameter, the Common Inset Limit is applied per piece. When the Group Type is set to Primitives this must be a primitive attribute, and when set to Edges this must be a point attribute.

The default value is inset.

Computes the height of all inset points first, accounting for any limits, and uses the minimal value for all inset points.

When turned off, the inset row may not be the same height all the way around and is limited by the halfway point between the top and bottom.

Fuses points pushed together as a result of insetting. This fuses points that either have an Inset equal to 0.0 or reach their Inset limit.

Outputs the geometry on the top of the hinge. This geometry is the selected faces that the Hinge Angle rotates around the pivot line.

When the Group Type is set to Edges, there is no Front geometry.

Outputs a group that contains the front geometry. Turn on Output Front to use this parameter.

The default value is front.

Outputs the geometry on the bottom of the hinge. This geometry is the selected faces, but reversed.

When the Group Type is set to Edges, there is no Back geometry.

Outputs a group that contains the back geometry. Turn on Output Back to use this parameter.

The default value is back.

Outputs the geometry on the side of the hinge. This is the newly constructed polygonal geometry that bridges the front geometry and the original surface.

Reverse the side geometry. This is particularly useful when hinging an edge group if the winding of the constructed topology is not expected.

Outputs a group that contains the side geometry. Turn on Output Side to use this parameter.

The default value is side.

Outputs a group that contains the top and bottom row of inset primitives. Turn on Output Side and Inset to use this parameter.

The default value is inset.

Outputs a group that contains the boundary edges of the front primitives. Turn on Output Front or Output Side to use this parameter.

The default value is frontboundary.

Outputs a group that contains the boundary edges of the back primitives.

The default value is backboundary.
