Type ID: geometry.curve_length
Category: Utility
What this node does
The Curve Length node is registered in Oraphim's Utility category and performs the graph operation represented by its sockets and controls below.
The current Oraphim runtime registers 2 sockets and 0 properties for this node. Its main registered inputs are Curve; its main outputs are Length. The tables below are generated from the runtime registry rather than a handwritten approximation.
Inputs
| Socket | Key | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Curve | curve |
Geometry3D |
Outputs
| Socket | Key | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Length | length |
Float |
Controls
This node has no registered editable properties; use its sockets and graph context.
How to use it
- Add Curve Length from node search. Use
geometry.curve_lengthwhen you need the exact registry entry. - Connect a compatible
Geometry3Dsource to Curve. Add the other inputs only when the operation needs them. - Start with the registry defaults and adjust socket/context behavior first so you can see the node's effect in isolation.
- Route Length (
Float) into a compatible downstream node, viewer, or output path. - Preview a representative frame, change one input/control at a time, and save/reopen reusable graphs to verify persistence.
Practical example
Create a small test graph with Curve Length. Feed a compatible source into Curve. Connect Length to a compatible downstream stage so the result is visible. Keeping this test graph small makes socket-type, context, and parameter mistakes easier to diagnose before the node is used in a production graph.
Troubleshooting
- If a connection is rejected, compare the exact socket data types in the tables above; Oraphim graph connections are typed.
- If the result looks unchanged, confirm this node is on the active path to the viewer/output and that the expected graph/resource is selected.
- If a control is unavailable, check required inputs and whether the property belongs to an internal or mode-dependent group.
- If a saved graph behaves differently later, reopen it and verify node identity, connections, and edited property values before rendering.
