Type ID: geometry.input_mesh_face_is_planar
Category: Input
What this node does
Provides is face planar data to downstream geometry operations.
The current Oraphim runtime registers 2 sockets and 1 properties for this node. Its main registered inputs are Threshold; its main outputs are Planar. The tables below are generated from the runtime registry rather than a handwritten approximation.
Inputs
| Socket | Key | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Threshold | threshold |
Float |
Outputs
| Socket | Key | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Planar | planar |
Bool |
Controls
| Control | Key | Type | Group | Registry default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threshold | threshold |
Float |
Inputs | 0.009999999776482582 |
How to use it
- Add Is Face Planar from node search. Use
geometry.input_mesh_face_is_planarwhen you need the exact registry entry. - Connect a compatible
Floatsource to Threshold. Add the other inputs only when the operation needs them. - Start with the registry defaults and adjust Threshold first so you can see the node's effect in isolation.
- Route Planar (
Bool) 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 Is Face Planar. Feed a compatible source into Threshold. Change Threshold away from its registry default and compare the result. Connect Planar 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.
