How do I explode a polyline into individual lines?

Lets say I have a triangle with three points. How do I get three primitives (i.e. lines), each with two points.

Try a polyextrude SOP;

uncheck “Output Front” and use “Consolidate Points” -> “Per-Face”.


Cheers

thanks Emanuele - that works to some extent
but I end up with primitives that are a bit odd

I create a triangle using the Curve SOP
I attach an polyExtrude SOP and output only sides

I then get three primitives (i.e closed polygons of zero area), with four vertices each

What I actually want is three primitives, with two vertices each (i.e. lines)

If you have a triangle use a Carve sop.
Use 1st and 2nd U to position your cut points (at two of the corners) and change the U Divisions to 3.

thanks probbins

I managed to get it to work with the Carve SOP
- I set First U to 0 and Second U to 1
- I choose the Breakpoints tab and select Cut At All Internal Breakpoints
- I choose the Cut tab, and leave just Keep Inside selected

This will break any polygon (open or closed) into a set of line segments
