How to use Prune Grid node in Oraphim

Type ID: geometry.grid_prune
Category: Transform

What this node does

Processes grid, volume, or SDF data with the Prune Grid operation.

The current Oraphim runtime registers 4 sockets and 3 properties for this node. Its main registered inputs are Grid, Mode, Threshold; its main outputs are Grid. The tables below are generated from the runtime registry rather than a handwritten approximation.

Inputs

Socket Key Type
Grid grid Geometry3D
Mode mode String
Threshold threshold Float

Outputs

Socket Key Type
Grid out_geometry Geometry3D

Controls

Control Key Type Group Registry default
Data Type dataType String Node 0.0
Mode mode String Inputs 0.0
Threshold threshold Float Inputs 0.009999999776482582

How to use it

  1. Add Prune Grid from node search. Use geometry.grid_prune when you need the exact registry entry.
  2. Connect a compatible Geometry3D source to Grid. Add the other inputs only when the operation needs them.
  3. Start with the registry defaults and adjust Data Type, Mode, Threshold first so you can see the node's effect in isolation.
  4. Route Grid (Geometry3D) into a compatible downstream node, viewer, or output path.
  5. 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 Prune Grid. Feed a compatible source into Grid. Change Data Type away from its registry default and compare the result. Connect Grid 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.
