Hi,

I have a pretty simple setup. A file node to a polyslice. I am slicing the file into N curves (200 in this case, but could be many more). I need each curve to be saved out as a single curve DXF file (which I will use in a laser cutter to cut the shape).

If I try to just save the geo as is it will export all curves on camera viewport. I need a single curve on a specific axis (top down). 

Can't figure out a way to do this - clearly I'm no expert as there must be an easy solution. Thanks for the help!

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can visualize mesh thickness? For example I need to find areas in a model that are less than 2mm thick. Or at the very least find the thinnest areas of a model (without specifying a minimum threshold in mm)

I found this SOP called Calculate Thickness but after going through the documentation and trying to fiddle with the settings I can't get it to work quite how I wanted. For example it is only giving me a grayscale image instead of a full gradient and it doesn't seem to be identifying the thin areas of a mesh in the expected fashion. 

The image below shows what I hope to achieve.

Many thanks,

You could use the fit function to reverse the values.

Can you elaborate more on this? You mean using the fit function inside the attribrandomize in the 'middle value' where the scale is set?

I'm not a super expert or anything on this so an example would be super helpful, thanks in any case!

Just post your hip and I'll add to it with an example.

Here you go. Thanks!
