How to use Mesh Bevel node in Oraphim

Type ID: geometry.mesh_bevel
Category: Transform

What this node does

The Mesh Bevel node is registered in Oraphim's Transform category and performs the graph operation represented by its sockets and controls below.

The current Oraphim runtime registers 17 sockets and 11 properties for this node. Its main registered inputs are Mesh, Selection, Start Left Offset; its main outputs are Mesh, Vertex Face, Edge Face. The tables below are generated from the runtime registry rather than a handwritten approximation.

Inputs

Socket Key Type
Mesh mesh Geometry3D
Selection selection Bool
Start Left Offset startLeftOffset Float
Start Right Offset startRightOffset Float
End Left Offset endLeftOffset Float
End Right Offset endRightOffset Float
Offset offset Float
Miter miter Bool
Spread spread Float
Segments segments Int
Shape shape Float
Profile profile Geometry3D

Outputs

Socket Key Type
Mesh out_geometry Geometry3D
Vertex Face vertexFace Bool
Edge Face edgeFace Bool
Outer Edge outerEdge Bool
Mid Edge midEdge Bool

Controls

Control Key Type Group Registry default
Selection selection Bool Inputs 1.0
Affect Kind affectKind Menu Node EDGES
Start Left Offset startLeftOffset Float Inputs 0.10000000149011612
Start Right Offset startRightOffset Float Inputs 0.10000000149011612
End Left Offset endLeftOffset Float Inputs 0.10000000149011612
End Right Offset endRightOffset Float Inputs 0.10000000149011612

How to use it

  1. Add Mesh Bevel from node search. Use geometry.mesh_bevel when you need the exact registry entry.
  2. Connect a compatible Geometry3D source to Mesh. Add the other inputs only when the operation needs them.
  3. Start with the registry defaults and adjust Selection, Affect Kind, Start Left Offset first so you can see the node's effect in isolation.
  4. Route Mesh (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 Mesh Bevel. Feed a compatible source into Mesh. Change Selection away from its registry default and compare the result. Connect Mesh 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.
