How to use Shape to Geometry node in Oraphim

Type ID: geometry.layer_shape_to_geometry
Category: Generator

What this node does

The Shape to Geometry node is registered in Oraphim's Generator category and performs the graph operation represented by its sockets and controls below.

The current Oraphim runtime registers 8 sockets and 7 properties for this node. Its main registered inputs are Shape, Width, Height; its main outputs are Geometry. The tables below are generated from the runtime registry rather than a handwritten approximation.

Inputs

Socket	Key	Type
Shape	shapeType	String
Width	width	Float
Height	height	Float
Vertices	vertices	Int
Inner Radius	innerRadius	Float
Curve Radius	curveRadius	Float
Fill	fill	Bool

Outputs

Socket	Key	Type
Geometry	out_geometry	Geometry3D

Controls

Control	Key	Type	Group	Registry default
Shape	shapeType	String	Inputs	0.0
Width	width	Float	Inputs	2.0
Height	height	Float	Inputs	2.0
Vertices	vertices	Int	Inputs	64.0
Inner Radius	innerRadius	Float	Inputs	0.5
Curve Radius	curveRadius	Float	Inputs	0.014999999664723873
Fill	fill	Bool	Inputs	1.0

How to use it

1. Add Shape to Geometry from node search. Use geometry.layer_shape_to_geometry when you need the exact registry entry.
2. Connect a compatible String source to Shape. Add the other inputs only when the operation needs them.
3. Start with the registry defaults and adjust Shape, Width, Height first so you can see the node's effect in isolation.
4. Route Geometry (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 Shape to Geometry. Feed a compatible source into Shape. Change Shape away from its registry default and compare the result. Connect Geometry 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.
