Hi! I`m doing pipe generator based on tutorial, and I want to go for some extra features. What I`m trying to achieve is to split pipe to a segments as a separate meshes. Technically I solved this, but the issue is that once I carve the curve and group its parts as a separate primitives and then sweep them, the pieces of the pipe is not matching each other. On the picture you can see what I mean.

just out of curiosity… have you any goal constraints requiring that you do not sweet first then group split the skinned result after?

Assuming that you do not want to use ‘carve’ for any other reason than splitting here, here's a potential solution that do not use carve, just attributes then split node instead, basically.

Thank you guys, this is exactly what I was looking for, just one thing missing - I need to make each piece separate. But this one is easy to do with assemble node. Just in case someone need this later.
