How to use Is Face Planar node in Oraphim

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

  1. Add Is Face Planar from node search. Use geometry.input_mesh_face_is_planar when you need the exact registry entry.
  2. Connect a compatible Float source to Threshold. Add the other inputs only when the operation needs them.
  3. Start with the registry defaults and adjust Threshold first so you can see the node's effect in isolation.
  4. Route Planar (Bool) 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 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.
