Hello,

I am very new in learning Houdini so please be lenient.

I identified N-gons (hexagons specifically) in a geo and I want to split them in half though the polysplit node, as I can target all the faces and vertices affected.

So I made that trhough an attribute wrangle, but my problem is now, whatever I put in the Split Location field, the node doesn't recognize it and I have an error. What's strange is that I printf the prior detail wrangle and the data stored is right!

Can someone tell me where I might have made a mistake ?

Thanks.

All example below:

Hi,

Your example is not visible but are you sure you are generating the right syntax Polysplit is expecting?

Another approach would be to perform the splitting using VEX by first deleting the polygon and then creating 2 new polygons to represent the split polygons.

Hello !

Sorry the images weren't included in the previous message.

Hoping it's making more sense now.

Thanks!

details() function has just 2 arguments as opposed to detail() so you may want to try
or if it's a detail attrib on input geo as in your case you can also do

a few additional notes:
- Polysplit expects single continuous chain of splits, so if your splits cannot be done as a continuous line it will also error out
- you may want to change your wrangle to run over Detail, then you can also just use
instead of setdetailattrib()
- and for readibility you may want to use space instead of a newline in your splits string

Alright Mr. Tomas, let me try these and I'll get back to you.

Thanks !

(UPDATE)

OMG it actually worked!

You were right, using `details( "../attribwrangle7", "splits" )` was enough, the 0 at the end wasn't necessary.

Thank you very much once again sir.
