How to use Mesh Line node in Oraphim

Type ID: geometry.mesh_primitive_line
Category: Generator

What this node does

The Mesh Line 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 5 sockets and 10 properties for this node. Its main registered inputs are Count, Resolution, Start Location; its main outputs are Mesh. The tables below are generated from the runtime registry rather than a handwritten approximation.

Inputs

Socket	Key	Type
Count	count	Int
Resolution	resolution	Float
Start Location	startLocation	Vector3
Offset	offset	Vector3

Outputs

Socket	Key	Type
Mesh	out_geometry	Geometry3D

Controls

Control	Key	Type	Group	Registry default
Count	count	Int	Inputs	10.0
Resolution	resolution	Float	Inputs	1.0
Start Location X	startX	Float	Inputs	0.0
Start Location Y	startY	Float	Inputs	0.0
Start Location Z	startZ	Float	Inputs	0.0
Offset X	offsetX	Float	Inputs	0.0
Offset Y	offsetY	Float	Inputs	0.0
Offset Z	offsetZ	Float	Inputs	1.0
Mode	mode	Menu	Node	OFFSET
Count Mode	count_mode	Menu	Node	TOTAL

How to use it

1. Add Mesh Line from node search. Use geometry.mesh_primitive_line when you need the exact registry entry.
2. Connect a compatible Int source to Count. Add the other inputs only when the operation needs them.
3. Start with the registry defaults and adjust Count, Resolution, Start Location X 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 Line. Feed a compatible source into Count. Change Count 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.
