Hi!

I'm trying to make a wood floor from a basic polygon shape. I'm using the Divide SOP to divide each plank at the same width.

I would like to know if there's a way to select all planks that are too long and split them. Note that some planks of my setup can end with more than one edge.

Thanks!

Hi Oliver,
Usually one would use the Measure node to set an attribute, then use that attribute in define a group etc..

That's a good starting point. I'll check it out.

Thanks!

You can identify large pieces by their primintrinsics, eg:
i@group_cut = primintrinsic(0, "measuredperimeter", @primnum) > chf('cut');

How do you want to react to the case circled? Anyways, you can find obliquely cutted pieces by their primvertexcount:
primvertexcount(0, @primnum)>4
